Sep 26, 2012 —  Is your love of jazz supreme? Do you wake to Armstrong, dance to Davis, and sleep to Coltrane? Then grab a martini and catch some of the best live jazz at these top clubs around the globe. Every city has its own take on jazz and its own unique sound. From Chicago to Paris, these jazz clubs play through the night with syncopated rhythms to get your head bobbing and toes tapping.

Whatever you’re in the mood for, these clubs have something for everyone. Grab a partner and swing through the smoky dance floor under dim red lights. Or discover the chaotic sounds of acid jazz with a cocktail in hand. Catch headlining acts like Herbie Hancock, Diana Krall, and Keith Jarrett. Or stumble upon emerging young artists like the Robert Glasper Experience and Vijay Iyer Trio. No matter what, make your way into some of these epic jazz spots – because you never know when you might be witnessing the next Thelonious Monk behind the piano.

    Founded in 1968 as one of Chicago’s first blues clubs, Kingston Mines has stood witness to more than a few big players in the industry wailing about how their woman left them.

    Jazz Club / Live Music Venue

    Harlem Jazz Club - Jazz Club | Live Music Venue in Barcelona.
    Lost in the back streets of Barcelona’s labyrinthine Barri Gòtic, Harlem Jazz Club’s hard-to-find location doesn’t deter the loyal crowd of music lovers, local and international, who descend on the venue six nights a week.

    B-Flat

    Jazz Club / Music Venue

    B-Flat - Jazz Club | Music Venue in Berlin.
    B-Flat is a roomy jazz club offering live music Mondays through Saturdays.

Fortunately, the décor does not detract from the small, elevated

    Bohemian Caverns - Bar | Jazz Club | Live Music Venue | Lounge | Restaurant in Washington, DC.
    It’s easy to see where this intimate music venue gets its name – the performance area quite literally looks like a cave – and while the three-story complex is also home to a separate restaurant and dance club, it’s the basement jazz that has made Bohemian Caverns an historical institution. Music lovers tunnel down into a subterranean space

What are your favorite jazz clubs around the world?

Spinner
Daniel B Sep 26, 2012 It's interesting to see what an international genre jazz has become. Especially as 6 out of the top 10 clubs are outside the US.
Victor Hernández Sep 26, 2012 Haven't been to any of these jazz clubs but now I have a handy bookmark of the coolest ones around the world. Will definitely come in handy.
Paul Feinstein Sep 26, 2012 It's unfortunate that Los Angeles doesn't have anything great that would make this list. I guess Piano Bar? But it's still nowhere close to these.
