Jazz Venue
Bird's Basement in a Riff[edit]
Bird’s Basement presents shows five nights weekly. The program includes artists across a range of jazz styles, as well as soul, funk, R&B, rock, blues, Latin and beyond.
Melbourne is home to this purpose-built live music venue, where patrons can choose their desired seating category (dining or optional-dining). Doors (and our kitchen) open at 6pm, with performances commencing at 7.45pm. Where the demand for tickets is overwhelming, we may schedule a second show on some nights (doors at 10.00pm, music from 10.30).
Artists[edit]
Bird's Basement is proud to present the very best musicians from Australia and around the world on all genres... Artists like Ravi Coltrane, Kurt Elling, John Scofield, Mike Stern, Jon Cleary, Freddy Cole, Cindy Blackman Santana, Anthony David, David Ryan Harris, James Morrison, Virgil Donati, Joe Camilleri, Renee Geyer, Deborah Conway to name a few.
The Best Acoustics[edit]
Musicians love performing at Bird's Basement (especially international guests, who get to stay upstairs at The Jazz Corner Hotel). As a purpose built jazz music venue, Bird's Basement has great acoustics, and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a superb sound is heard onstage, as well as out front. Music so good deserves to be heard clearly!
