  • 2013 | Best Jazz Club

    Subterranean, dark, funky, and regularly presenting an impressive array of local and national jazz artists, the venerable Artists' Quarter has all the attributes of a great jazz club. Tucked into the basement of St. Paul's Hamm Building, the AQ boasts intimate confines, classic jazz photos and album covers decorating the walls, a decent bar, a real character manning the door in Davis Wilson, and a genuine dedication to an art form that requires first-class talent but too often is relegated...

  • 2003 | BEST OPEN-MIC NIGHT

    It's less of a Showtime at the Apollo for suburban would-bes than a genuine hootenanny at this downtown St. Paul stalwart. The Artists' Quarter is a beatnik's pleasure dome, albeit the type of place Sal Paradise might've been booted from for lollygagging (eight minutes, please).

    Atlantis Quartet

    By Rick Mason | Wed, March 07, 2012

    The third album from the increasingly impressive modern jazz outfit Atlantis Quartet, Lines in the Sand, recorded live at the Artists' Quarter last spring, isn't the grand declaration of arrival that was 2009's Animal Progress. But it does for... More »

    Mary Louise Knutson

    By Rick Mason | Wed, November 23, 2011

    Although Minneapolis jazz pianist and composer Mary Louise Knutson maintains a busy schedule playing with the likes of Connie Evingson, Debbie Duncan, and the JazzMN Orchestra, her charming new album, In the Bubble, is her first in 10 years. Its... More »
