What I find that's really nice is having some classic jazz (Ella Fitzgerald, Monk, Armstrong, Coltrane, ...) in the early evening to encourage people to hang out during the evening for drinks as well as in the night!
Featuring Latin Jazz nights would also be a good idea (I'm sure Rick Martinez will agree, he's been raving about Latin Jazz for a while! Maybe he's got some good ideas for Latin night!).
Anyways, for all its worth, that's my two bits about the jazz club scene.
Ciao,
Natia
