Uptown Jazz Cafe - Fitzroy

I applaud venues trying to make a go of it with live music of any kind in this age of poker machines and "big screens" but when they also support artists of the calibre of Andrea Keller they deserve patronage for that fact alone. The food was ok but not the point. The service was ok but I didn't care. The sound was excellent, the seats comfortable and the atmosphere supportive. Keller's Transients that I heard was more "mainstream" but nonetheless very enjoyable.It's such a privilege to share a space with these creative artists on a cold Tuesday evening in Fitzroy. More please.

Went with high hopes of hearing some good local jazz. alas this night was "experimental" music night. weird is the only word for it. nothing to do with jazz.so suggest you check before going there. also, please note it was cash only the night I was there.

Great intimate jazz venue , with a select group of top musos performing. Open most nights and well worth a visit.

The doors are supposed to open at 8, they opened about 8:20 and the band played about 9. They were great musicians, strictly instrumental. You have to order food from the downstairs Japanese restaurant which is quite tasty.

I've been frequenting jazz venues for 30 years now around the world and this quaint, cool place with a smooth sophisticated feel is the place to be!Strongly anchored in the historical roots of jazz, the venue owner keeps the joint true to those roots yet dishing out the best jazz from local and touring artists.A must for aficionados of jazz and a place to relax and be entertained.
