REGATTABAR JAZZ CLUB
Read moreOpen since 1985, the Regattabar is one of the best places to listen to jazz in Boston and, according to some, all over New England! The club is located in the Charles Hotel on the third floor. You can have a drink on the spot, but on the restaurant side, it is only possible to nibble on a few dishes to share. Plan to dine somewhere before or after the show, the doors open at 6:45 pm on concert nights. The hall is quite spacious, but it is better to arrive early to have a good table, close to the stage.
BILL'S PLACE
Read moreThis speakeasy, opened in the early 1920s, undergoing prohibition, no longer sells alcohol today, but it is possible to return home with its bottles. So it's not for the drinks that we go to Bill's Place, but for the quality of the jazz concerts that take place every Friday and Saturday night. During the heyday of New York jazz, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Fats Waller were regulars. Between each performance, the master of the place, Bill Saxton, a saxophonist born in 1946, reviews the history of the place.
