You are right, Heather, re: the address of Jam Session. It's on the west side of Fifth Ave, on the corner. In fact, my son, Aaron, and his friend, Jeff, actually jammed there when they were visiting last time. On weekends, they often have some excellent jazz. In fact, the woman who sits in with the regular suspects at Captain Dave's on the beach sings there on occasion. I'm sure she could provide more details. Actually, as I recall, while they stay open late, I think they start at 10:00 pm usually, so it's not THAT late for somebody as young as you.

Insofar as D.J.'s go, my take is that he had a good run and the closing is old news.

quote=Heather;924775]Chris Bolister plays every Friday night starting at around 8-ish (Mexican time) at the Pinche Gringo bar at Calle 26 and the corner of 1st avenue. This is my favorite bar and quite a few local ex-pats hang there (we call it "Keith's Bar/Captain Dave's North). Chris is an English singer/songwriter who plays a lot of great covers and some original stuff on his acoustic guitar (Johnny Cash, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, etc.). He also plays with a big group of guys on Thursdays and Saturdays at Bad Boys on the Beach between Calles 2 and 4. I think they start around 4 or 5 ish. You can also find music most nights at Bourbon Street, 5th avenue between 6 and 8 (but I think it starts fairly late) and Fah Bar at the hotel Siesta Fiesta, 5th avenue between 8th and 10th.

Quite late, also, you can find music at the Jam Session, which gets rave reviews from friends, but I've never been (I cannot stay out too late). This is, I think at 5th avenue and Calle 40 or 42 (anyone know?). Another place I've never been to but heard is good is the Cuban place at the Paseo Mall on the very south end of 5th avenue.

Can you tell I like live music?[/quote]
