Five Spot carries the spirit of Manhattan’s historic Five Spot Café (1956–1967) into today’s vibrant East Village scene. Located at 231 E 9th St, Five Spot Jazz continues the tradition of bold, exploratory jazz in a venue known for legendary sessions with Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and other jazz icons. The modern program honors that heritage with regular Monday and Tuesday showcases, jam sessions, and special multi-artist events that attract aficionados and newcomers alike.
