This travel-friendly schedule offers performers a break from the grind of heavy touring. It also lets fans enjoy their favorite players night after night, if they so choose. Massive photos of Louis Armstrong and Dexter Gordon preside over the stage, which can accommodate bands of up to 10 or more players. Jazz Alley s large room, grand piano and high-tech sound system are all top notch, and, of course, these amenities come at a price. Reservations are encouraged.
Free parking is provided.
