Jazz club in Manhattan?

I'll be in Manhattan for a week in April and wondering if you guys had any recommendations for a good Jazz club to visit based on personal experience?.

the lincoln centre, say roy hanes there last summer, really good gig, cool venue.

The Bleu Note, Birdland and the Knitting Factory would be worth checking out IMO. The latter would not generally be mainstream but more avant garde or contempory.

Some of the world's best jazz venues are in New York, enjoy! Check out the above suggestions, I know I'd be heading for Birdland myself. A friend of mine was there last year and met Ron Carter :eek:

Guys, thanks for the recommends. I've looked 'em up on google and hopefully I'll get the chance to visit them.

I'm only beginning my Jazz journey in the last 12 months and have a huge appetite for it.

thanks again, and if I get the chance to visit those listed above I'll post my experience of course.

Regards.

John Zorn has a venue called The Stone. It is on the corner of Avenue C and 2nd street.

It is mostly focussed on improv and free jazz but each month has a new curator so could be anything.

I checked out Birdland online but it doesn't make it clear if I can just show up at the door or do I need to make a reservation?.

I'll be staying on 42st so this would be fantastic for me.
