Over the decades, it has become a significant institution within the Austrian jazz scene, hosting numerous international artists alongside local musicians. The club is recognized for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to live jazz performance. It underwent renovations in the early 2000s but maintained its core function as a dedicated jazz space. It continues to operate as a non-profit organization focused on supporting jazz music.
