Jazzland
Jazzland is an institution of the Austrian music scene and Vienna's oldest active jazz stage. Since it opened in 1972, the club has been housed in a historic vaulted cellar directly beneath Ruprechtsplatz in the 1st district (Innere Stadt). The unique architecture, with thick brick walls, low ceilings and a labyrinth of cellar vaults, creates an incomparably intimate atmosphere that music lovers and artists alike appreciate.
Jazzland's program ranges from classic swing and Dixieland to bebop and modern forms of jazz. International greats such as Art Farmer, Stan Getz and Chet Baker have played here, as have many talented Austrian musicians. The close contact between audience and artists makes the experience a personal one, and over the decades this has made the club a fixture of Vienna's cultural scene. Besides concerts, there are regular jam sessions that especially attract young musicians.
If you spend the evening at Jazzland, it's not just about the music: the rambling venue also serves a small selection of traditional Austrian home cooking and simple drinks such as beer or wine, ideal for a relaxed concert evening. Reservations are recommended, as seating is limited. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, with the focus on the music, which is exactly why die-hard jazz fans love this place so much.
