Enjoy The Jazz Clubs in Manhattan

While the roots of jazz is in New Orleans, today New York City is the hub of jazz music. No New York visit would be complete without a stop at a jazz club. I don't know the exact number but there are lots of jazz clubs in NYC, so if you are a tourist in NYC and want to enjoy jazz music you're in the right place. Here are some suggestions.

I visited The Village Vanguard on the 15th of February with my two girl friends. We bought tickets in advanced on their web site, because their seating capacity is limited I recommend you to do the same. The ticket price is $25 per set plus 1 drink minimum. At that night The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra celebrated 47 years, music was amazing. Sets at 9:00, 11:00.  They don't serve food.
178 Seventh Avenue South NYC.

Jazz Standard, after having dinner, you can enjoy jazz here. Tickets are $20 to $30, with the drinks and food it is pricy but they have comfortable seatings and high sound quality. Sets at 7:30, 9:30, 11:30.
116 East 27th Street, NYC

Smalls Jazz Club has a small and cosy atmosphere with 60 seats but they offer one of the best jazz in NYC. Cover charge is $20.
183 West 10th Street, Greenwich Willage, NYC.






New York Gezisi ve Jazz

Caz muziginin kokeni New Orleans olsa da, bugun cazin merkezi New York. Dolayisiyla bir New York seyahati, caz kuluplerinden birine ugramadan sonlandirilmamali bence. New York'ta caz dinleyebileceginiz o kadar cok kulup var ki, kisa sureligine burayi ziyaret eden bir turistseniz secmekte zorlanabilirsiniz. Iste size degerlendirebileceginiz uc oneri.

The Village Vanguard'i iki arkadasim ile birlikte 15 Subat'ta ziyaret ettim. Biletleri onceden internet sitesinden alip gittik, oturma kapasiteleri sinirli oldugu icin size de ayni seyi yapmanizi oneririm. Bilet fiyatlari 25 USD ve yaninda bir icki almaniz gerekiyor. Benim orada oldugum gece The Vanguard Jazz Orkestra'si 47 inci yilini kutluyordu dolayisiyla muzik muhtesemdi. Performans saatleri 9:00 ve 11:00. Mekanda yiyecek servisi bulunmamakta.
178 Seventh Avenue South NYC.

Jazz Standard, yemeginizi yedikten sonra, rahat koltuklarinda muzigin keyfini cikarabileceginiz bir mekan. Bilet fiyatlari 20 - 30USD arasinda degisiyor, bu fiyata icki ve yemek de eklenince fiyatinin digerlerine gore pahali oldugu soylenebilir. Performans saatleri 7:30, 9:30 ve 11:30.

Smalls Jazz, samimi ve sicak bir ortamda kaliteli caz dinleyebileceginiz bir mekan. Kapasitesi 60 kisilik ve bilet ucreti 20 USD.
