Jazz spots in Vienna

[EKE BBB]

I'll be in Vienna for the "expanded" weekend.

I would appreciate any recommendations on jazz spots: jazz clubs, concerts, CD/LP jazz stores...

Many thanks in advance!

Jazzland

great club, you can eat before the concert, too - spent a great night there listening to Sheila Jordan with the Fritz Pauer trio, doing two sets and a short third, after which I chatted with Ms Jordan for a second

Porgy & Bess

more high-brow, I guess (wasn't there though)

Joe Zawinul's Birdland seems to have closed... didn't take note of that before.

Where the Porgy's is, there's also a small CD shop, Rote Laterne, where org-member soulpope was working back when I was in Vienna (July 2007, ages ago... Red Octopus was still open, the second volume of Erich Kleinschuster's 2CD set was out right when I was there).

I recommend The Blue Tomato, nice little club with good local live bands.
