How to Approach a Jazz Club — Before You Ask for the Gig
A great performance is not always enough to get booked. Before contacting a venue, understand what the room needs, how your music fits its audience, and what a booker actually needs from you. The first step is not asking for the gig—it is showing that you understand where you are asking to play.
