Keeping the winter garb packed as theis Jazz Voyager heads for the city where the speedway and jaz are synonymous to a spot known as the Jazz Kitchen. Located at 5377 N. College Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46220, they opened their doors in 1999, quickly becoming one of the go-to destinatons for jazz in the country.
Presenting local, regional, national and international performers, this intimate 140 seat supper club offers up a NOLA meets Midwest cuisine, for both carnivore and vegetarian. The $15 food and beverage minimum is in addition to the cover charge, which varies by performer.
The Jazz Kitchen is a 21+, smoke-free, handicap accessible establishment and tickets can be purchased in cash at the box office to avoid the 10% service fee, online or by calling 317-253-4900. This weekend the Jazz Voyager will be partaking of the talents of The Baylor Project. #wannabewhereyouare
