Jazz in the hotels of the world
The hotels of the world have embraced jazz music as a way to create a sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere for their guests. Jazz provides the perfect background noise for a conversation or a moment of relaxation, and many hotels have started incorporating live jazz performances into their nightly programming. Some of the most iconic hotels in the world have long histories of jazz performances. The Waldorf Astoria in New York City, for example, has been hosting famous jazz musicians since the 1930s. And the Ritz-Carlton in Boston is known for its annual "Jazz Week," a week-long celebration of the city's jazz scene that features performances by local and international artists. But even smaller, more off-the-beaten-path hotels are getting in on the action. The Solstice in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for example, has a regular jazz performance series that features some of the best jazz musicians in the area. And the Canal House in Amsterdam offers guests the chance to listen to live jazz in its intimate setting. So if you're looking for a little jazz in your next hotel stay, be sure to check out the hotel's website or call ahead to see if they have any special performances planned. You won't be disappointed.
