It's hard to believe that this intimate, little club can hold more than 100 people. It has a stage, a handful of tables and standing space around the bar, for the people who forget to book a table. It's popular with the city's artsy scene and with people who know their jazz. It has original performances by top-notch musicians playing just about anything from experimental jazz, to acid jazz to blues.

I've visited dozens of times over the years and the jazz knowledge of the crowd and the level of play every visit has been truly impressive. I've have never seen a bad performance at JFC, and with Jazz that is an unusual claim since an element of progressive jazz is to push musical boundaries.There is no food service, a modest drink menu, and low prices. The audience are there for one reason, to witness good jazz so there is little talking or attentions wandering from the stage during a set.The shows start early and end early due to neighbors and noise issues, so JFC is a great way to start an evening and leaves time for dinner or dancing elsewhere afterwards.
