Best Jazz Club

Sometimes a quiet evening of jazz is better than a night in a loud and smoky rock club. Yeah, we know that sounds crazy. But one visit to CHURCHILL GROUNDS, and we were hooked. The elegant, cozy venue is a classy alternative to scuzzy rock venues. It’s an excellent place to take a special date: Have a glass of wine, relax, and let a night of music work its magic (you’ll just need to close the deal). But, first and foremost, it’s a great place to see intimate performances by a variety of jazz greats and up-’n’-comers. Located to the right of the historic Fox Theatre on Peachtree, Churchill Grounds has a stately, affluent vibe, so ditch the sneakers and dress nice for a change, OK? less...

OK, start the antitrust proceedings. In our trendy-funky town, Churchill Grounds is the Microsoft of jazz clubs. If you want to check out straight-ahead jazz, there is no way to overlook this venue. Sure, other "jazz" clubs present non-smooth jazz sporadically, but Churchill offers it straight up, seven nights a week. The local cats even seem eager to take the stage for the normally precarious largesse of "the door" because CG's prime location next to the Fox nearly guarantees a full house. less...

To hear jazz or get jazzed? that seems to be the question. Sambuca has the dubious honor of providing a place for both. Nothing illegal, mind you, but yes indeed ... to see and be seen, be heard but not listen and bop or bebopped. It's a jazz joint for the '90s, expertly supplying the needs of tomorrow's jazzed fans. less...
