About Close Up

Tucked away in the Lower East Side, Closeup Jazz Club is one of NYC’s most intimate new listening rooms. With fewer than 40 seats and a no-talking policy during sets, the venue invites a level of focus and reverence rarely found outside of a recording studio. Its minimalist, modern design—dark walls, soft lighting, and a sleek baby grand—puts the music front and center. The atmosphere is hushed, but never stiff, offering a sense of closeness between audience and performer that lives up to the club’s name. Programming tends to favor acoustic, straight-ahead jazz, often in duo or trio formats, with a strong emphasis on improvisation and musical conversation. For serious listeners who want to feel every nuance, Closeup delivers jazz in its most distilled, human form.
