Description

'The House Jazz Built' has been around since 1935, when it was founded by an enterprising Lithuanian immigrant. Today, a sizeable international crowd packs the club, enjoying the great music and acoustics, an informal New York camaraderie and a good selection of beer and cocktails (no food is served). Musical giants from Leadbelly to John Coltrane to Wynton Marsalis have played here, and fresh talent as well as 'name performers' can be heard in this fabled Greenwich Village basement seven days a week. The customary charge is USD25 to USD30, including a two-drink minimum. Cash only.
