Concerts in Jazz Alley

Experience Jazz Alley

Jazz Alley, located in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood, is the Northwest’s premier live jazz and blues nightclub. Established in 1981, it quickly became a cornerstone of the city’s vibrant music scene, filling a void for dedicated jazz performance space. Housed within a former auto-repair shop, the venue retains a distinctive industrial-chic aesthetic with exposed brick and low lighting, creating an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere.

Over the decades, Jazz Alley has hosted legendary artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Wynton Marsalis, and Diana Krall. It consistently features both established names and rising stars in jazz, blues, and occasionally R&B and soul. Unique to Jazz Alley is its full-service dining experience; patrons enjoy a comprehensive menu and table service throughout performances – no separate concert seating exists.

The club’s commitment to quality sound and sightlines ensures an excellent experience from any table. Its longevity and consistent programming have cemented Jazz Alley's place as a vital cultural institution in Seattle, contributing significantly to the preservation and promotion of jazz music in the Pacific Northwest.
