Bonafide Jazz

Bonafide Jazz at Room 52 is a revival of a legacy.

Before Room 52, this space was home to Club Bonafide, a historic New York City jazz club that welcomed generations of musicians, artists, and jazz lovers. Bonafide Jazz honors that history by bringing live jazz back into the room—intimate, expressive, and alive.

Each session begins with a featured band performing a one-hour set, setting the tone with a curated mix of classic jazz, modern interpretations, and original sounds. After the featured set, the night opens up as additional musicians are invited to join, creating an organic, collaborative jam that evolves in real time.

What to expect:

• A warm, intimate jazz-club atmosphere
• A high-level featured band to anchor the night
• Guest musicians joining throughout the session
• Carefully crafted cocktails and a relaxed late-night vibe
• A space where the music leads and the room listens

Whether you’re a jazz purist, a casual listener, or a musician yourself, Bonafide Jazz is about honoring tradition while letting the music breathe, stretch, and surprise.

Come experience the return of jazz to where it belongs.
