BEST LIVE MUSIC VENUE: JAZZ: THE BASEMENT

We know that The Basement covers everything from Blues, to folk, to roots to world; but you decided it was the best place for those hip cats to hear their cool jazz grooves long into the night. With the option of a meal and a front row seat (not to mention a short stroll to the Harbour), The Basement is a fine Sydney institution. (Chris Peken)
