The Village Vanguard is a historic jazz club located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan.

Throughout its history, the Vanguard has hosted nearly every major figure in jazz, including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk. Its intimate setting—notably low ceilings and a small stage—contributes to a uniquely close connection between performers and audience. The club is renowned for its consistently high-quality programming and its preservation of traditional jazz aesthetics alongside showcasing contemporary artists.
