The Django

11 Best Jazz Clubs in NYC for World-Class Performers, Live Music, and More | Condé Nast Traveler

"Concealed beneath the Roxy Hotel in TriBeCa, this vaulted, exposed‑brick room with red curtains and candlelit tables transports you to a Parisian boîte; couples huddle into cozy twosomes while a state-of-the-art Meyer Sound system delivers excellent audio wherever you sit. The elevated dinner menu and Natasha David’s handcrafted cocktail program make it easy to turn a show into a full evening, and I found small signs requesting silence throughout as a reminder that the music is the focus; waiters in white blazers discreetly take orders and the set moves effortlessly from upbeat swing to somber ballads with musicians trading playful riffs that feel like old friends jamming. Leaving the room, I felt like I’d been living in a film." - Jessica Chapel
