Jazz in Buenos Aires

The other evening we went to the most-famous jazz club in Buenos Aires, Notorious. Whilst Buenos Aires is more famous for its Tango, the guide books and general Internet research had suggested that this place was worth a visit, and given that it was only 4 blocks from where we're living, I thought it could be a good choice for an evening. The entrance was around 15 dollars, and the food pretty reasonably priced. We saw a trio who play an "American songbook" collection every Tuesday evening who were fantastic. The evening was definitely a highlight of Buenos Aires so far, although perhaps it seems a bit bizarre to say that given that there is nothing particularly unique to Buenos Aires about Jazz! Perhaps I'm just not that much of a Tango fan...

It's a very small restaurant, but a good venue.

The five of us who went - 3 American friends and one from Ireland.

In case anyone notices the half-sized bottles of wine on the table, it was because they had run out of 750ml bottles on the cheaper end of the wine card! Some Malbec from Mendoza was the obvious choice (will be a stop on my travels next week).
