Finding traditional jazz in Austin-area clubs can be elusive.
Austin is not New Orleans, and no establishments offer traditional jazz entertainment nightly.
However, some locations offer traditional jazz or something very close to it on a weekly or sporadic basis.
This is a guide to those places. Bookings change, so consult Other Local Events on this website or call the club before going.
