My husband and I love jazz, but hadn't found a venue downtown that we were crazy about. So, we decided to check out Jazz Showcase, since it's been around since 1947.

Feels a little bit empty inside, almost like a small gym as you pass away from the bar and into the seperate seating area. Don't get me wrong, it's not big, so there is some intimacy. Things were pretty relaxed the night I visited three years back. More
