Jazz Society Café

Top choice in Cuenca


The performance venue of the Jazz Society of Ecuador provides soothing aural therapy with Ecuadorian musicians, as well as international artists. The Jazz Society also cultivates young local talent, and though there's rarely a cover charge, a humble donation of $5 is suggested – a bargain for the caliber of performances hosted here. The live jazz is nightly during opening hours.
