In the heart of Milan is a piece of New York City‘s musical soul, the Blue Note Milano. Opened in 2003, it is the Italian twin of the iconic Blue Note, a jazz club in the Big Apple where Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles have performed, and has quickly established itself among the European temples of jazz, hosting legends and new talent alike. The venue, located in a central part of the city, offers an international, elegant yet accessible atmosphere where audiences can experience concerts with the same energy and quality as the well-known New York venue.
