Grossman's Tavern is a long-running Spadina institution for New Orleans jazz, blues, roots and rock. Bands and jam-oriented players fit the room naturally, and the audience is used to live musicians being central to the night.

Venue review
The musician's read
The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar is a downtown Toronto institution with live shows every day and a dense jazz-focused schedule. Jazz, blues, funk and swing players are stepping into a room where the audience already understands the music, which raises the bar for musicianship but removes the need to sell the concept. It is a strong working room for serious players who can hold an intimate crowd.
