Great atmosphere, music and food. This is my favorite date night spot in Charlotte so far. Nothing about Middle C jazz club disappoints. For anyone who hasn’t gone there needs to go. The best time to go is before doors open to have great seating. My third time going and already planning to go back
Intimate setting with a cool, laid back vibe.

Spotlight: the Meteoric Rise of Saxophonist Braxton Cook
When you’re chasing your next big break, hard work and skill are the entry fees—but it’s often a single, unexpected connection that turns the corner.
Veronica Swift, a prodigy on the leading edge of jazz
Veronica Swift has never fit neatly into one box, and that’s exactly the point.
