Johannesburg’s jazz scene is alive with soulful rhythm, offering immersive experiences in venues that blend history, artistry, and atmosphere. At Chiesa di Pazzo Lupi, jazz echoes through a reimagined church building transformed into a one-of-a-kind outdoor canteen, where nature and music meet in perfect harmony. Just a few blocks away, Untitled Basement pulses with raw creativity—an underground haven for experimental sound and intimate connection. Then there’s The Marabi Club, a hidden gem in New Doornfontein. Inspired by the golden age of Harlem’s jazz scene, The Marabi Club combines a rich, detailed atmosphere with magnetic energy, giving each performance a timeless feel. Whether you’re a jazz veteran or new to the genre, these three spots promise an unforgettable sonic journey through the heart of Johannesburg’s cultural soul.
