Best Jazz Club
Cliff Bell’s; 2030 Park Ave., Detroit; 313-961-2543; cliffbells.com
Ol’ John Clifford Bell would be happy to see his creation strive today, pumping a healthy dose of traditional and new age jazz back into the city of Detroit. The beautiful sounds that come out of Cliff Bell’s can only be matched by the decor that engulfs it. The crimson tone and lacquered wood bar dazzle. Every seat is front row when performers jam, placing every listener in the immense cloud of great music.
