The Jazz Playhouse is located within the Royal Sonesta Hotel on Bourbon Street. Originally established as Fritzel’s European Jazz Club in 1969 by Fritz Kleinschmidt, a clarinetist who emigrated from Germany, the venue has been a consistent presence in New Orleans’ vibrant music scene for over five decades. It's historically known for presenting traditional New Orleans jazz, though its programming has broadened over time to include various jazz styles and related genres. The intimate setting allows for close interaction between performers and audiences, fostering a classic jazz club atmosphere. The space underwent renovations and rebranding as The Jazz Playhouse while maintaining its commitment to live music presentation.
