Mezzrow Jazz Club

Billed as a "listening room," you'll want to come to Mezzrow Jazz Club when you're in the mood to be taken away by the music. Owned and operated by the cats who run Smalls Jazz Club next door, this isn't the place for conversation with a friend. The club kindly asks that talking be kept to a bare minimum. They also ask you to dress appropriately as reverence to some of the world's best jazz pianists that grace the stage. The space itself is small, which accentuates an already intimate feel, plus on Thursday through Sunday, the $20 ticket ($25 on weekends) buys you entry to Smalls. There are two nightly shows: 7:30 PM and 9 PM, then 10:30 PM and 12 AM.
