If you like jazz as if you're listening on your own in your sitting room then this is the place to go. The music is absolutely fantastic and I'd listen to any jazz band anywhere but here! I have been to many a jazz club globally and never have I been asked to stop talking! I'm sorry 'gran' but this is not the way to encourage people to recommend this venue and enjoy the most beautifully fluid music on earth! Loved the music (5 stars)but not the venue.

This is a little gem of a place like stepping back in time. Fantastic music world class musicians at a cheap price. Tickets are about £10-12 drinks are cheap like workingsmenclub prices. The very loyal clientele are an older group and like to enjoy the music and show the musicians respect by not talking through their act. Which is sadly lost on a lot of younger people these days. They are welcoming and like to see people having a dance. This place needs an influx of younger jazz fans to keep it going or it will not survive and a another Swansea gem will be lost. Don't come if you want to chat to your friends all night. If you want to see fantastic jazz swing and blues acts (I've never seen any less than brilliant there Dave picks some cracking acts) in a cosy club please come along. What's not to like.

Swansea Jazzland occupies the St James social club every Wednesday. The drinks are reasonable in this venue however to my knowledge there is no food. The music you experience is usually jazz played by world class musicians who often frequent the likes of Ronnie Scots in London which would cost between 2 to 3 times the price here. The host Dave Cottle has a lot of influence in bringing in great players being one himself. Come down and chill!

Simon Spiller starting tonight, 25/4/18,at Swansea Jazzland has got to be a winner for everyone! He was in splendid form and the superb Dave Cottle trio made another night to further the status of the club. Difficult to find in Swansea, but massively worth the effort.

Its truly the best live music venue for jazz outside of London: holding its own with 606, Ronnie Scotts and Boisdale.

Regular jazz venue in Uplands. Your experience will vary with the act, but you get a good view in a small room seating about 50. Bar at back with reasonable prices. About £12 admission, maybe less for members. Not much atmosphere on the night we were in owing to young band, and old audiences.

Excellent performances every time we go, however beer tasted off on our last visit.
