Great atmosphere, music and food.

5-star review

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.

5-star review

Intimate setting with a cool, laid back vibe. Impeccable service from friendly, attentive staff. Classy cocktails, consistently tasty menu. I’ve tried the cheese dip more than once and the curry chicken. Great place to kick back and enjoy!

At Middle C Jazz, the experience feels effortless. You arrive, you’re greeted with a smile, a cocktail finds its way to your table, and a world-class performance begins.

Celebrating the Women Who Move Us, For Women’s History Month

At Middle C Jazz, we believe music isn’t just heard—it’s felt. Sprinkled throughout March, we are feeling the power of the women who have redefined the stage. In honor of Women’s History Month, we’ve curated a lineup that spans the spectrum of the female experience in music, from the technical brilliance of global jazz icons to the soul-stirring tributes of the voices that raised us.

Spotlight: Saxophonist Mike Phillips, a Path of Legends

Born and raised in Mount Vernon, New York, during the rise of hip-hop, Mike Phillips grew up in a neighborhood that produced some of music’s biggest names, including Mary J. Blige, Heavy D, and Pete Rock.

Keiko Matsui: Boundary-breaking Musician & Humanitariani: Boundary-breaking Musician & Humanitarian
