UPDATE: Downbeat's 150 Best Jazz Rooms

UPDATE: HERE'S THE VORTEX PROUDLY DISPLAYING ITS BADGE!



(Back to our original story) Congratulations to four London clubs -

- Ronnie Scott's, Pizza Express Dean Street, 606 Club and Vortex -

all four appear in Febuary 2011 Downbeat's list of the world's "150 best jazz rooms." There are only 28 listed outside North America. (And on the subjects of jazz - and getting a room - the photo above was taken at Jazz Alley in Seattle, also listed by Downbeat, by Jenny Jimenez)
