This place is so nice!It was a serendipitous discovery when I went for Charlie Hunter's performance.It's now in my watch list for interesting concerts ;)Definitively recommended!

Great intimate club to see music. Unless you want to be sitting almost on the stage, don't bother paying for "Gold Circle" seating. Nice bar and tasty goodies. Acoustics are great and you won't suffer ear ring for the next day. It can be tricky to find because the only sign on Cedar (1street west of Pacific) is a smallish marquee. This is one place worth looking for.

Amazing treasure that pulls in world class acts in an intimate venue. Also has great food and drink available during the sets. Get there early to get the best seats.

Kuumbwa Jazz Center is one of the best venues in the Bay Area. World class artists in a homey, intimate, friendly setting. Come casual or dressed to the nines. All ages are welcome and encouraged. One of the best Non Profits you can belong to. Mike Stern, Jeff Lorber, Jimmy Haslip & Dave Weckl blew us away!
Ray Schmitt

Great performances, and nice place to see them.
Coral Brune
Music and staff get 5 stars. Seating..could be improved if rearranged. Or with roomier walk space by 5 inches. It's hard to get in seats in narrow rows. Comfortable however, too. Understand the situation. Love the venue. Great acts, sound,food etc. Owners and volunteers all great.

Great place to listen to live music. The theater is small so everyone gets a great view. Prices are reasonable. Nice variety of jazz and folk musicians; some pretty well known.
Nick Pavlina
Best jazz club in the Bay area...comparable to Yoshis.

No bad seats here. Chester Thomson Quartet was fire! Wonderful place.
Joey Babcock
Great jazz center that hosts a wide range of performances. I wish they had some sort of food option for the college student type budget but even their cheapest option was like $6 I think but I’m happy they hosted the UCSC jazz band and more and the venue had a good amount of seating though it is hard to move around

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! The talent that walks through that door is mind-blowing! I saw Kandace Springs last night and this woman (and the drummer, Taylor and the bass, Caitlin) are going straight to the top. WOW!!!

Seating at the high top by the bar was very crowded at times but it also made it very enjoyable to see the whole show(being short and all). Overall clean and well set up.
Linda Spalinger
Great, small music venue. Sound is good everywhere.
Michael Squire
Venue is great. The sound system here is very good and sound is great. Seating is a little hard as no one can get past when your saeted but that a small price. They have very good music acts here so give it a try especially for jazz.
