The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is jet setting across the globe to Europe’s westernmost capital city of Portugal where is situated one of Europe’s oldest jazz nightspots: Hot Clube. Founded in 1948, it has hosted legends in its 140 seat capacity. Though it suffered a fire in 2009, it reopened three years later two doors away with a new interior style that is minimalist and modern and the only heat being generated now is by the soloists up on its stage.

Just a short walk from the Bairro Alto, central Lisbon, the club is located at 48 Praca da Alegria, attracting a mixed crowd of young musicians, students, and tourists. This weekend I will be catching João Barradas on accordion recording his new album Own Thoughts From Abroad with Simon Moullier on vibraphone, Luca Alemanno playing double bass, Naima Acuña on batteria.

Drinks are reasonably priced, admission €10.00 for non-members with free entry to members. Reservations for all name acts at +21 3460305. #wannabewhereyouare
