If you can actually hear the musicians over a handful of regulars grumbling, "I liked the old location better," this jazz club is as close as it gets to catching some swinging cats in the Village. In the dark basement of the Hamm Building, the AQ, with its candlelit bar, black walls, intimate tables and chairs, and velvet curtains behind the stage, looks and sounds exactly the same as it did in Lowertown. Musician-owned, it attracts the best local, national, and international touring ensembles. This is a jazz purist's heaven. Live music Monday through Saturday.
