"Blue Note LA will focus on curated and consistent, artist-driven programming in that intimate Blue Note Jazz Club vibe that people love. Blue Note New York has a uniquely New York energy, and for Blue Note LA, it's important to honor what makes this city's creative energy and spirit so distinctive. Blue Note embraces the space to collaborate and experience those spontaneous moments that are special. We're thankful to all the artists and their teams who are a part of this opening season of shows. They're helping us set the tone to launch Blue Note LA," says Alex Kurland, Director of Programming at Blue Note Entertainment Group.
Designed specifically for Los Angeles, the new venue will offer an intimate atmosphere paired with programming similar to its New York counterpart: world-class performances from celebrated icons, rising stars and genre-defying collaborations that reflect the evolution and influence of jazz. Each artist will perform two shows per night at 7:00pm and 9:30pm. Designed by the acclaimed Legeard Studio, the space blends mid-century elegance with the raw energy of classic jazz.
Located at 6372 Sunset Boulevard (at Ivar Avenue) in Hollywood, the new venue boasts two performance spaces: a main showroom with a 200-person capacity, as well as secondary "B-Side" room with a 100-person capacity and programming to be announced. There will be a full-service kitchen and beverage menu, open for weekend brunches and dinner throughout the week. The food menu, crafted by chef Asaf Maoz of LA-based restaurant Carmel, showcases bold and international-inspired flavors, while the cocktail program leans into sophisticated riffs on jazz-era classics, all designed to complement the energy of the room.
