“Changes come and go in Manhattan’s West Village neighborhood, but the basement club occupying 178 Seventh Avenue South since 1935 remains a stable and revered New York City landmark. It’s been tweaked for upkeep over the years, but never to the point where you wouldn’t recognize it.
TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Reopening Tuesday, January 25th
Due to the current surge in Covid-19 cases, for everyone’s safety, the Vanguard is temporarily closed. We will remain closed through Monday, January 24th. We will open with the Vijay Iyer Trio featuring Linda May Han Oh and Tyshawn Sorey. Scroll down for tickets.

“The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra began its life as the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra in 1966.The world-famous Village Vanguard jazz club in New York City booked the newly formed band for three Monday nights that February. Those performances were wildly successful and the engagement was extended indefinitely. The Village Vanguard’s owner, Max Gordon, told Mel Lewis, “We’ll keep it going until it tapers off.” Over half a century and more than 2700 Monday nights later, it still hasn’t. The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra stands apart from all other modern ensembles of its kind and is still as strong and vital as ever.
