Live Jazz music can be an exhilarating experience even if you are not an aficionado. If you're not all that familiar with the genre, we can suggest an introduction - listen to tracks by Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr and Jamie Foxx (yes, he can carry a tune) before going on to avant garde Jazz performers like Wynton Marsalis or Miles Davis. And if you want to experience Jazz in the city, here are some great options.
Where better to start off this list than where it all began? (NOLA is short for New Orleans, Louisana). NOLA rightfully bears its title, with great jazz tunes coming at you, yummy Cajun cuisine, and of course a live band. Armada Bluebay Hotel, Cluster P, Jumeirah Lakes Towers; call 04 399 8155
Frankie's may be an Italian restaurant, but that doesn't mean the Italians can't get their jazz on. Five days a week, from Wednesday to Friday at 8.30pm, jazz and soul duo Kevin and Donovan take over the stage. JA Oasis Beach Tower, The Walk, Jumeirah Beach Residence; call 04 399 4311
At this lounge, you'll be greeted with a helping of jazz right off the bat - scan through the images they load on social media channels from the lovely evenings they host and you'd know what we mean! Every Sunday at 8pm, there is live music from the region's local talent. Sundays at 8pm. Ocean View Hotel, Level 1, Jumeirah Beach Residence; call 050 345 6067
In West 14th, you have the golden opportunity to enjoy two of the finest things in life - steaks and jazz. Every Tuesdays and Fridays, the big band kicks off the entertainment at 7.30pm. Oceana Residences, The Palm Jumeirah; call 04 447 7601
Arguably one of the most well-known jazz stages in Dubai. The place promises a lively, comfortable ambience. Expect to see local talent at their jam sessions. The food is great too!
