Baker's Keyboard Lounge

On the city's west side is Baker's Keyboard Lounge, a dimly lighted, smoke-filled club that's been open since 1934. Everyone from John Coltrane to Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, and Dave Brubeck has played Baker's over the years. The club offers nightly jazz and great soul food.

Cliff Bell's

One block west of Woodward on Park Avenue is Cliff Bell's, a restored art deco jazz club that offers live music seven nights a week.
