A production of Jazz St. Louis, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting, presenting, and preserving jazz in the greater St. Louis area, Jazz at the Bistro brings in some of the finest talent playing today. Tickets for shows can be expensive, still a fair price for great music.

The Bistro boasts a formidable sound system and its reputation as a great space in which to listen and play is reflected in the caliber of talent it draws. Dinner is available before and during the show and is reasonably priced. Artists generally play two or three-night stays, with sets at 8:30 and 10:15 p.m.; patrons are occasionally allowed to stay for the second set, if space permits.
