Default Your most memorable or favorite Jazz Bar

Okay Bob, I will play.

I have two fond memories of Jazz Bars. The first is also in Bangkok at the Sheraton on Sukumvit. The lounge is on the second floor and they always have live Jazz. Nice place to relax and cool off after a long day in the Thailand heat, crowds and general craziness.

The second is in Shanghai at the Waldorf on the Bund. The Long Bar transports you back in time with its well, loooong bar, wood covered walls and incredible service. The fresh oysters, extensive choices of cocktails and beverages all compliment nightly live Jazz, usually a trio of singer, standup bass and drummer.

Until recently, you could go there and also smoke a cigar while sipping a cocktail, listening to great music and sharing stories with friends.

It was one of my favorite 'get out of China' retreats as it washed away the noise, hustle and bustle of crazy Shanghai.
