Jazz B ends up feeling like an out-of-the-way New Orleans hole-in-the-wall jazz bar without even…read moretrying. I think what makes Jazz B work is that the music literally and figuratively takes center stage at the bar. The food and drink menus are a bit limited, but they have all the classic drinks (their Old Fashioned is about the closest you can get to a Sazerac in São Paulo), and the food options range from things to snack on to pastas and grilled meat dishes. The acoustics are decent, and seem to improve as the band warms up. In my opinion, it's a venue all live music fans have to go to, and it's great to see the downtown scene rising from the ashes.

On the first floor you'll find poems, graffiti, and political slogans that may go over your head if you are not familiar with Portuguese (or another Romance language). Going up again takes you to the biggest floor which expounds on the origins and influences of modern Brasilian Portuguese along with some light insights into the history of Brasil. It's on the smaller side but if you read every poster you could spend more than an hour without even watching their video presentation (included in the ticket price). Cheap and easily accessible, but only worth it if you're into words.

I really liked the set up of this museum. As opposed to…read morehaving artwork hanging on the wall, they were in clear glass cases in the middle of a huge room. They were organized in lines with the most recent pieces towards the front and the older pieces near the back. Because of this set up, the information about each work was on the back which makes you take the work in before knowing anything about it. There was also a good mix of Brazilian artists and more well known "classic" artists. Very cool.
