Iridium Jazz Club Jazz Club

The Iridium is a mix of a jazz and guitar music club and is located on the underground level at 51st and Broadway. It was made famous by guitarist Les Paul who performed at The Iridium club every Monday night from 1994 until his passing in 1999. The Iridium has performances every night of the week, but reserves Monday night to honor Les Paul by showcasing legends such as Jeff Buck, Steve Miller, Zakk Wylde, and Todd Rundgren.

Shows at the Iridium are known for their spot-on acoustics and straight sightlines, but don’t expect a ton of space between you and the people at the next table – this place is filled to the brim! It is a nice escape from the touristy buzz of Times Square and the music is sure to not disappoint. The average set at The Iridium lasts for just a little over an hour and tickets can be purchased online or at the door. If you’re a student and have a valid ID, you can get half-priced tickets to all second sets Tuesday through Thursday as well as Sunday.
