List of jazz venues

Jazz clubs are usually a type of nightclub or bar, which is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages.

Large rooms were also more common in the Swing era, because at that time, jazz was popular as a dance music, so the dancers needed space to move.

In the 2000s, jazz clubs may be found in the basements of larger residential buildings, in storefront locations or in the upper floors of retail businesses.

Some jazz clubs host "jam sessions" after hours or on early evenings of the week.

At jam sessions, both professional musicians and advanced amateurs will typically share the stage.
