Resurrection of our old NYC Jazz Club Bible

Some of our long-time visitors -we’ve been around since the turn of the century- have been missing our big list of NYC jazz clubs, and the content we used to include about each club.

 

As it turns out this information was lingering somewhere in the dark web ready to be resurrected – so here it is.  Some of the information needs to be updated, so take it with a grain of salt, and do some further research regarding music policy, cover charges, set times, etc.  

Please help us update this list with new intel: contact@bigapplejazz.com. I’ll spend some time each day making this a more useful place to look for current information, so feel free to bookmark this page for those times you are seeking an up-to-date jazz guide.

There is also some great historical data.  Where you see RIP next to a club listed, you will note that this club has since closed, but we want to continue to recognize that it once was.

Peace,

Gordon Polatnick
Founder Big Apple Jazz Tours
