JazzINK by Andrea Canter
When the Artists Quarter closed at the end of 2013, many area musicians had to scramble to find new venues for their music. Slowly, we're seeing more and more of our AQ favorites on the schedules of smaller clubs—the Black Dog, Studio Z, Jazz Central, The Nicollet, Cafe Maude, the Icehouse and more.
