NJJazzList has the venues in NJ and more
Since we rebuilt our website a couple of months ago, more venues are being adding in NJ, NY, PA and CT. We will be adding more useful information about the venues, as well as some 'light' review information to let you know what to expect when you visit them. While our focus remains NJ, we know that out-of-state destinations like Philadelphia clubs and concert halls and popular Brooklyn hangouts are of interest so more of all that is coming. Know a good venue we missed? Please add it to help out your fellow jazz enthusiasts.
