Jazz Bars and Restaurants

Little Tokyo's jazz bars and restaurants are leading the live jazz revival in LA. Soloists, trios and jazz quartets take the stage (actually the floor, there is no stage) in this minimalist, moderne Little Tokyo club. Their eclectic bookings run from female jazz singers to the more avant-garde. It's a little tricky to find; there is no sign on the building outside. Enter Weller Court plaza, take the elevator to the third floor. Listen for a moaning sax. www.bluewhalemusic.com
