The oldest jazz cellar in Germany, Der Frankfurter Jazzkeller was founded by legendary trumpeter Carlo Bohländer. The club, which once hosted such luminaries as Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, now offers hot, modern jazz, but there is always some kind of cover. There are jam sessions on Wednesday and \"Latin-funky\" dances on Friday. Jazzkeller is located on a small alleyway off Fressgass, which just adds to its charm and legend.
