The Great Escape: Go Hear Some Jazz
Take some time away from the kids and enjoy a night of jazz in Boston.
This file photo is from the jazz super-group Galindo-Phaneuf-Lockwood-Guilotti, which performed at the Beehive in the South End. The Beehive is one of the city's jazz havens.

We live in a hub of activity and we may not have the late night zaniness of New York City but we have some serious talent here in Boston. If you have a hankering for some jazz, we have several hip joints that will fit the bill.
Grab your honey and your beret or porkpie hat (the one you just bought at Salmagundi’s) and beat it over to the South End to Wally’s Jazz Café or The Beehive. Both spots serve up some serious local jazz.
You may have some budding musicians from the local schools or some old school cat dishing out his wares. There’s also Slades Bar and Grill, which offers up some R&B as well.
If you have a day of it, there’s the upcoming: Berklee Beantown Jazz Festival, Saturday, Sept. 24 from 12-6pm, on Columbus Ave starting at Mass Ave, with three full stages of jazz. If you can’t escape that day, not to worry, there’s plenty of jazz every night of the week right here in little ole Beantown.
