The Blue Note has built its reputation as a premier destination in New York to hear the stars of the music. Big names such as Herbie Hancock and Nancy Wilson perform here regularly, for primarily a tourist audience. In addition, local artists fill the bill on Monday nights and in affordable late night jam sessions, as well as during an emerging late night weekend groove series.

Listed as one of the 100 jazz clubs worldwide by Downbeat.
