In its relatively short history (in jazz club years), Iridium Jazz Club has carved out a place of prominence. It opened in 1994 and has since served as a launching pad for many a young jazz artist and even as a home for one of music’s greats, Les Paul, who played a weekly gig at the club right up until his death in 2009. Since Paul’s passing, the club has rededicated itself to jazz as well as all things guitar.

The club has live music seven nights per week, with a late show on weekends. Impromptu jam sessions are likely to happen when big names stop in and other big names stop by to watch. Ticket prices vary depending on the performer and there is always a $10-15 food & drink minimum. Call ahead for special student discounts.
