Wonderful jazz artists from all around come and perform here each week. There's never not an opportunity to experience amazing jazz from both locals and those from far. In terms of the jazz combo classes and summer camp, this place blows it out of the park with very, very talented and knowledgeable coaches.

We made our first visit in Feb'24 to see the Jim Ketch Swingtet. The exterior looked like a mechanic's shop in an industrial park. Don't be fooled! The inside is a nicely appointed jazz club with a good size stage and excellent sound system, chairs in rows facing the stage with cute cafe tables between each, and a nice bar with local beer, wine, and limited snacks in stock. The music was great as was the service. We will be back, often.

amazing! incredible sound, great performance, especially the group Thrio, very palpable appreciation in the whole room, and impressive selection of drinks. There's a reason there's a wait-list to volunteer here!

Came for our anniversary and what a great spot to enjoy music! Drinks and snacks offered at the bar, and the staff was very sweet and accommodating. The music was just fantastic. Can’t wait to come back for another show at this amazing venue 😁

Such a cool, unpretentious, inviting place to listen to jazz. It’s a nonprofit off the beaten path. There’s no minimum food/beverage charge. Instead, there’s a small bar in the back run by volunteers. It makes great music accessible—truly a gem, and I can’t wait to come back.

Sharp 9 is a performance hall devoted to live jazz music. They serve wine and beer but no food. They feature high level talent regularly and are not pretentious but love the enjoyment and promotion of jazz. Check it out!
