The Mint: Great club for jazz in Los Angeles
Every Monday, The Mint, together with 32 Bar Productions, delivers a speak-easy style Jazz experience, reminiscent of some of the old New York Jazz clubs back in the day. Our jazz night , hosted by Kevin Kanner and his quintet and featuring different DJ’s every week is called The Groove Pocket.
The night combines uncompromised Jazz, Bebop and Hip Hop as well as artists painting and drawing throughout the night together with some of LA’s edgiest DJ’s spinning Breaks, Soul and Hip Hop between sets.
Kanner is changing the way Jazz is presented, appealing to new and younger ears without compromising anything musically. This rare treat has become a mainstay and a central event for the Los Angeles jazz scene.
Some say that great jazz experiences in Los Angeles are somewhat hard to find. Many feel that one must go to New York, Chicago or New Orleans to capture a real jazz scene. Here at the Mint, we beg to differ. Right here in Los Angeles you will find a bona fide jazz band doing 2 sets each Monday night, the second set being an open jam session with experienced jazz musicians being invited up to the stage.
