It is commonplace to note its historically significance. Perhaps understated or exaggerated: a musical phenomenon is the city that does not sleep, a voyage of fantastic proportion filled with constant excitement, passion and elegance where the new millennium converges with tradition, the Jazz capital of the world, New York City is the tallest giant of Jazz among giants. And for those that seek to find adventure--from the mundane, anomalous or fashionable--the Big Apple has it all, particularly, the numerous Jazz clubs that are
constantly feeding the hungry appetites of music fans.

Here is a list of New York City Jazz clubs. For a more comprehensive index of NYC Jazz clubs, visit BigAppleJazz.Com - maintained by Gordon Polatnick.
