FAQs

Here's some useful information about Snap on 2 & 4

Advance tickets
Unless announced otherwise, we start selling tickets the Monday before a performance. Tickets can be purchased by phone with a credit card or in person at the workshop with cash, check, or credit card. We normally can't take reservations without advance payment, and do not take reservations by email.

When you call, please be patient. We're a jazz school, and are in class or teaching a lot of the time. If you don't reach an actual person, leave a voice message with your name and phone number, but don't leave credit card information. Someone will call you back to confirm and complete the sale. We do our best to return all calls fairly quickly, but if you haven't heard back by the next day, call us again to make sure your message got through.

Seating
The Jazz Cave is a small room that seats 80-90. The acoustics are excellent and there are no bad seats. Seating is reserved, and consists of cafe tables for 4 (we can sometimes squeeze a 5th) or bar stools along the wall or bar. Reservations for table seating must be 2 or more. If you show up at the last minute and we're sold out, we can still usually fit you in if you're flexible: we set up folding chairs in the back or on the side of the stage. There's also usually table or bar stool seating that opens up for the second set.

Other stuff
The Jazz Cave is a non-smoking room.

We are a listening room, and ask that audience members keep noise and conversation to a minimum during a performance. In the Jazz Cave the fact that audiences can hear all the nuances of an artist's performance is a major plus and inspires artists to give better performances. Cell phones, of course, must be turned off.

Performances begin at 8 pm and consist of two sets. The admission covers both sets. We feel the best way to really hear jazz artists is to hear the entire evening. There may come a time when we'll have to charge for each set in order to bring in a major (read expensive) artist, but we'll only do this as a last resort.

We don't serve food or alcohol. Patrons can bring their own drinks and snacks. We do sell soft drinks and bottled water.
