Mezzrow is a listening room located in Greenwich Village, New York City, dedicated to presenting jazz and improvised music. The venue takes its name from Milton “Mezz” Mezzrow, a prominent white jazz clarinetist and advocate for racial integration in the jazz scene during the 1930s and 40s. Opened in 2018 by Carol Sudhalter and Ed Palermo, it aims to recreate the intimate atmosphere of historic jazz clubs while prioritizing high-quality sound and attentive listening. The space is relatively small, fostering a close connection between performers and audience members.
