A jazz club for American tourists…read more Okay, there was one Australian lady and a few Chinese. Everyone else was American. Prices are sky-high because this is a soak the tourist situation. Alexanderplatz which is the premiere jazz club in Rome charges $18 euros for a month membership - no cover after that - and $12 per drink. So once you have paid your monthly cover charge, you can hear all the jazz you want for free - or if need be for $12 euros a drink At Alexanderplatz, the performances are legendary with some of the most innovative and technically amazing musicians in Rome. We dropped over $150 euros at Gregory's. We got a perfectly reasonable yeoman guitarist. But nothing like the artistic lions that routinely perform over at Alexanderplatz. Now to be fair, we had dinner at Gregory's and we never eat at Alexanderplatz. The standard "sushi dinner" was perfectly reasonable yeoman sushi. There was so little of it that we both had to order a la carte dishes afterwards. The extra extras seriously expanded the final tab. * * * One argument in Gregory's favor: their bar is extraordinary. The bar at Alexanderplatz is mediocre. Gregory's charges top dollar for its bar offerings, but what they mix and what is in their bottles is worth every single euro they ask for. I would be perfectly happy to just go to the bar, and order a few premium beverages. I would hear my wallet cry. But I would know that I was drinking supremely well in return for my investment. Fortunately, the bar is downstairs from the club. I would not have to put up with the shenanigans in the club. * * * The problem with the club is the crowd. At most, one third of the customers are actually there to listen to jazz. The room is filled with tourists taking selfies. There are also hot-daters playing snuggle-buns. Many of them will leave mid-set so they can go back to the hotel. Gregory's is less about the music and more about selling happy memories of Rome. * * * Alexanderplatz gets a mostly Italian crowd. You are looking as musicians, music critics, academics, and all purpose artsy types - as well as normal Italian human beings who just want to hear fine music. The music is taken very very seriously. Yeah, there are usually two or three tables with good time Charlies who are doing the phone recording, party hearty thing. But this is 8% of the audience at Alexanderplatz as opposed to 70% of the audience at Gregory's. To be fair to the crowd at Gregory's, the music at Alexanderplatz is simply better. The jazz at Alexanderplatz is capable of transfixing even philistines with tin ears. Gregory's jazz doesn't put that much on the table. But the crowd at Alexanderplatz sets me up for listening to mystic, complex music with the highest level of attention and aesthetic receptiveness. The crowd at Gregory's just gets me irritated. * * * If you are in Rome with a hot date, go to Gregory's. Be prepared to shell out the bucks. * * * If you are in Rome with someone who can truly appreciate once-in-a-lifetime musical experiences, take them to Alexanderplatz. After you talk about the music for half an hour after the concert, You can still go back to the hotel. Just figure that the hotel will be the second best part of the night.

One of my three favorite jazz clubs in the world…read more Alexanderplatz is extremely eclectic in the styles of jazz it programs. But the Italian jazz scene is one of the best in Europe. There are a lot of classically trained musicians who have become superlative jazz artists. Alexanderplatz programs everything from traditional cocktail lounge swing to post-free-jazz abrasive to experimental European style electronic new age/jazz complex fusion. The third style is one we don't have much of in the U.S. We have the first two styles plus Marsalis family style neobop plus Brooklyn non-genre. Every session we have heard has been absolutely positively superlative. They break new frontiers on the innovative stuff and demonstrate superlative craftsmanship on the traditional stuff. Most other jazz clubs have good nights and bad nights. You can run into mediocre student wannabes and washed up old f**ts. None of those D-listers will show up on the stage at Alexanderplatz. * * * Another plus for Alexanderplatz: The room is extremely atmospheric. You go down a winding and almost-dangerous staircase into a basement. The basement is brightly colored and has jazz paraphernalia everywhere. It also has a balcony and archways which is not typical basement stuff. It makes the scene totally magical when you are down there. * * * The bar is the only weak point of this otherwise fantastic club. There is a very limited selection. The bottles are not always that great. Worse. You pay at the end. Everyone shows up in a huge traffic jam at the bar to pay with only one cashier taking money. The line runs long. It is a jazz club so it runs late. Whether or not you will make your bus is an open and interesting question. My tip is to pay right after you get your drink. You leave when the music is over and everything is fine. * * * But musically - this place is pure awesomeness on a stick. If you like any kind of jazz, and are willing to hear jazz in all of its forms, you really need to make a point to come here. If you like one and only one kind of jazz only, Pretest the artists before you book. But I would still say come anyway. The artists of your "not-my-genre" may get you to change your mind.

Got there around 11pm and the bouncers said things don't liven up til around 2am! WTH! I'm usually asleep by then. So we wander off to a neighboring bar for some drinks and return a little later. From the outside you'd hardly think anyone was inside but boy was that an illusion. It was packed! We were there on a Thursday night and the music was primarily US hip hop. There were bboys on the dance floor and people were dancing their asses off! Personally, it was way too crowded. This is the type of place where you'll accidentally get elbowed or get a drink spilled on you. Oh and don't even think of having to go to the bathroom. There is ONE bathroom and the line was ridic....if you have to go, FYL! On a good note, the crowd was very diverse and everyone was friendly for the most part.
