JZ's Jazz Bar

I lasted 10 minutes at JZ’s Jazz Bar before I walked out. Unfortunately I am totally serious. JZ’s attempt at a sultry, sexy feel simply manages to come off as seedy. Lit with red lights and filled with abundant bar stools, JZ’s reeks of foreplay. Popular amongst Shanghai’s foreign jazz musicians, JZ’s appears to be the place where the white male proudly shows off his Chinese lady...or alternatively, where he goes to pick one up.
  
The music is authentic, but too instrumental for my personal taste. Chinese vocalist Violet is worth catching though... when she does open her mouth.
  
Luxurious upstairs seating comes with a hefty minimum spend of 500RMB. At a venue such as CJW, one with taste and class, I might pay for the luxury. However, I certainly would not at JZ’s.
 
I hate to sound harsh, but JZ’s just isnt my kind of jazz scene.
