Smalls Jazz Club is a historically significant venue located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Founded in 1994 by Spiro and Mitch Tzanetos, it quickly gained recognition as a crucial space for preserving and promoting straight-ahead jazz. Unlike many contemporary jazz clubs, Smalls operates without a cover charge; musicians are compensated through a tip jar system which fosters an intimate and spontaneous atmosphere. The club is renowned for its late-night jam sessions attracting both established professionals and emerging talent. Its relatively small capacity contributes to its intensely focused listening environment and has made it a favorite among musicians and dedicated jazz audiences alike. Smalls has been instrumental in sustaining a vibrant jazz scene in New York City despite economic challenges faced by live music venues.
