the best jazz club in new york city is in…the catskills

New York is widely recognized as the jazz capital of the world home to the incomparable Village Vanguard and a dozen other incredible venues plus some of the most accomplished and up-and-coming players. Of late, an entirely new take on the classic New York jazz club scene is actually in the small mountain town of Ellenville, NY, 90 mins north of NYC. Enter Love, Velma, a cannabis-friendly, private jazz lounge with incredible sound, a hip, diverse crowd, and dance parties after the live sets end. Love, Velma is structured as a private membership club for jazz and performing arts fans, and is truly an immersive musical and social experience.
