Berlin


Cool cats of all ages come out to this jazz and acoustic music venue, where the audience sits within spitting distance of the performers. Big names like Mal Waldron, Randy Brecker and Mikis Theodorakis have all graced its stage, but mostly the focus is on top homegrown talent. Wednesday’s free jam session often brings down the house.
