The magazine New York listed the club as a "top 5 jazz joint". [3] The New York City Jazz Record named Jazz Standard the "venue of the year" 2017.

History

When the club opened in the fall of 1997 the upstairs restaurant was called "Standard". [1]

The Mingus Big Band, the Mingus Orchestra, and Mingus Dynasty rotated every Monday night as the club's de facto house bands. The former won the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album for their album Live at Jazz Standard. The Maria Schneider Orchestra played a week-long gig at the club every Thanksgiving from 2005 to 2019. [4]

On December 2, 2020, the Jazz Standard announced it would be closing its doors at 116 East 27th Street permanently, due to lack of revenue from COVID-19 and stalled rent negotiations. [2]
