Straight ahead jazz by Austin's finest young saxophonist.

Elias Haslanger is a musician dedicated to jazz, and his style has roots AND originality. In a city where the jazz scene leaves much to desired he is at least two cuts above the competition. Go see him.

This is one of the bands that plays at Cedar Street regularly.

Run, don't walk, to see jazz guitarist Clay Moore at the Elephant Room or the Ritz the next time one of his bands is playing (Greenstreet, Tomas Ramirez). This guy is *incredible*. His style is reminiscent of Pat Martino, Wes Montgomery, and Jimi Hendrix... but his sound is decidedly his own.

Very possibly the hippest Jazz club in town. Weekends can be very crowded with an extensive line to get in.

Specializes in martinis.
