Enjoy the best Jazz in “Café Vienés”

If you go for a walk around ‘Paseo de Gracia’, you will get to ‘Hotel Casa Fuster 5*’, one of the most prestigious hotels in Barcelona. The building in which it is located is one of the most emblematic constructions of the architect LLuís Domènech i Montaner. Here, the beauty and harmony of the Catalan modernist style of the end of the XX century can be appreciated.

The style of the building opposes the principles of the industrial architecture, as it intended to explore new structures inspired by nature. The atmosphere in “Café Vienés” is very special because of its large windows overlooking ‘Paseo de Gracia’, and its modernist columns, arches and capitals, are mostly made with high quality marbles. This is also a meeting point for Barcelona’s artists, intellectuals and citizens that are looking for a distinguished, relaxed and quiet place.

Although Café Vienés is most famous for its Thursday nights. This day of the week, and within their Jazz Club program, the best national and international jazz musicians get together here. The concerts start at 9 p.m., and finish at 11 p.m. Artists such as the Yoshiba Brothers, Eddy David, Conal Fowkes, the Doc Scanlon Trio, the New Orleans Rag Trio or Barcelona Swing Serenaders have played on their stage.

This is as well a film location as it has appeared in some scenes of Woody Allen’s Oscar-winning Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona. A concert by the film director in 2007 with Eddy Davis and Conal Fowkes, all of them members of Woody Allen New Orleans Jazz Band, is one of the most memorable events up to this date The group played for the public the best jazz in New York. Since then, jazz nights on Thursdays in ‘Café Vienés’ are a must for the lovers of this type of music in Barcelona.
