Jazz In Austin


What comes to mind when you think of the month of April? We don’t know about you, but we think jazz, jazz, and more jazz. Miles Davis… Ella Fitzgerald… Louis Armstrong… Herbie Hancock… All those great, influential jazz musicians who should be celebrated all the time, yet sometimes are forgotten in the midst of all the popular music in America today. Well as you may already know, April is the official Jazz Appreciation Month and we want to help you find the best venues and events for Jazz in Austin. We are compiling a list of jazzy places to go and things to do around town just for you, so you can join us in this JAM celebration. Time for you to get your jazz pants on and enjoy this month of great music! If you know of any parties or venues that are related to JAM, feel free to email Rachel(at)do512.com and we will be glad to post it on the site!

      Music is a great way to compliment getting a drink with a date, and the best music genreas to listen to while casually chit-chatting on a first date has to be jazz and blues. There are usually small cover charges on the weekends, but weekday shows are usually free. And you’ll easily impress your date for finding this hidden music lounge which you can refer to as your own “little secret”.

      Tucked away in a corner of the UT Student Union, Cactus Cafe is one of the best places in town for an intimate, acoustic sound experience. Open since 1979, this hideaway is where Lyle Lovett and Lucinda Williams cut their teeth.
