Jazzed up
<img title="Best gig venues" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2017/nov/Best-gig-venues-AA.jpg" alt="Best gig venues" /> Isheeta Chakravarty, jazz singer, recommends: The Quarter, The Little Door, Finch, Veranda "It's a great time to be a live musician in Mumbai right now. Every new venue in the city has a dedicated jazz night, which provides us an opportunity to test our skills. The Quarter at Royal Opera House, for instance, is a new place that people have been raving about.

Then there's The Little Door in Andheri, which hosts jazz nights every Tuesday. The Finch in Andheri East is also great. You also have Bandra Bass, a tiny place dedicated purely to music, without any alcohol even.

Veranda in Pali Hill has late-night jazz on Saturdays. Bonobo in Bandra, too, sets aside one Wednesday a month for jazz. That's a lot of places."

Toto's in Bandra plays more of the Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd variety, while The Ghetto in Breach Candy plays a lot of The Doors."

It's one of those few places in the city where you feel free, with the sky above your head.

In fact, I am heading there right now. But it all depends on my mood &mdash; if I feel like going to an underground bunker, I would then go to antiSOCIAL in Khar. Summer House Caf&eacute;, Lower Parel, is another indoor venue I like."

Pop into the mood Donn Bhatt, musician, recommends: Citizen Hotel "I like the music they play at this Juhu venue, because they have '80s pop like David Bowie, which I was incidentally listening to last night."

Viraag Desai, painter, recommends:&acirc;u00c2u0080u00c2u0088Tryst and Playboy Club "Pop is usually played where 18-year-olds go. Tryst in Lower Parel, for instance, was playing Justin Bieber when I went there once. It's the sort of place where the guests look like they are drinking for the first time in their lives. I am 31, and went with a bunch of 21-year-olds, who, ironically, were complaining about everyone being too young. Then there's Playboy Club in Worli as well."
