A jazz club is a venue, often a bar or nightclub, where the primary entertainment is live jazz music performances, which can range from small, intimate settings to larger auditoriums. Historically, they were significant in African-American communities, originating in the 1920s to offer an alternative to louder music styles. Today, they are places for listening to jazz, often fostering a sense of community among music lovers and musicians.
