Smalls Jazz Club, located in Greenwich Village, has a significant history as a haven for traditional and straight-ahead jazz. Founded in 1994, it quickly became known for its late-night jam sessions and intimate atmosphere. Unlike many other jazz venues, Smalls operates largely on a donation basis, fostering a communal spirit amongst musicians and audiences. It’s renowned as a proving ground for emerging talent and a consistent performance space for established artists alike. The club's relatively small capacity contributes to its particularly close connection between performers and listeners, offering an authentic jazz club experience reminiscent of the genre’s earlier days. The venue continues to operate with a focus on preserving the legacy of acoustic jazz.
