JAZZ BAR in Kanagawa where you can enjoy jazz during the year-end and New Year holidays
Recommendations for enjoying jazz bars for beginners
Even beginners who think jazz bars are too difficult to enter are welcome. Nowadays, if you search the internet, you can easily find a lot of advice for jazz bar beginners on the site.
For example, about the MC (music charge) and TC (table charge) pricing systems, what kind of clothes to wear, what time to go, where to sit, etc.
There are many styles of jazz, ranging from calm to up-tempo. It's one thing to know the standard, but it's also to choose the one you like. It's a good idea to watch live jazz performances on YouTube as a reference. If I find a performer I like, I might check out their blog.
The more you know about it, the more you'll fall in love with it and want to listen to the real thing. After all, nothing beats live music! Be sure to visit the jazz bar.

Enjoy jazz more in 2017
Kanagawa is a city where jazz is familiar, including Yokohama and Yokosuka. There are jazz bars all over the prefecture, and many jazz festivals are held every year.
