The 100-seat space will present headline jazz artists on Fridays and Saturdays and celebrated Brazilian groups on Sundays in an intimate listening room with clear views of the performers from all table and bar seats.

In addition to music, guests will find a handcrafted walnut bar, light menu, separate lounge and pool room, and a contemporary art gallery,

The club features Italian wines, local beers, special cocktails and a full bar. The menu is Italian “quiet food” of tapenades, charcuterie, cheeses, and desserts.

The Jazz Forum Club is a program of Jazz Forum Arts, a not-for-profit arts presenting organization and a longtime dream for Mark Morganelli, a musician, producer, and executive director, who lives in an apartment directly on site.

The club is a reimagining of Morganelli’s Manhattan jazz club, the Jazz Forum he ran from 1979 to 1983.

Renowned trumpeter Roy Hargrove Quintet performed at the grand opening on Friday, June 9. Upcoming performances include the Lee Konitz Quartet on Friday, June 16 and Saturday, June 17, the Newport Jazz Ensemble on Friday, June 23, and Saturday, June 24 and Kenia & Paul-Brasil NY on Sunday, June 25.
