The Loft Society

If underground jazz is your thing, then the Loft Society is where you want to be.  The setting is very intimate, as the living room of a 1 bedroom apartment has been converted into a musical venue, with the artists within touching distance of the concertgoers.  The music is generally top-notch, though you can certainly run into a "new age" sound every once-in-a-while (and I supposed that's good if you're into that sort of thing).

The hard part is finding out when there is a show.  There's no website or mailing list, as far as I know, and the only way to learn of a show is to stop by the building and look for a flyer.  Flyers for shows are usually out 3-4 weeks beforehand so you have time to plan.

The only other downside is that it is somewhat pricey , at $20 a ticket (pay at the door), but they provide food and beverage.

If you been looking for an intimate space that hosts underground jazz musicians from across the country, keep an eye out on Calhoun St. for a flyer and stop by The Loft Society. You won't be disappointed.
