6. Then..... sit, back, enjoy and let the jazz seep through your veins as it did mine.
7. Check their website for shows and time. ( sorry Yelp, hours listed were incorrect)
I saw a great show with Jules Fisher and his very talented quartet ( see video). Absolutely wonderful!
This is the type of jazz club I love, people listening to great jazz, humming a familiar tune, clapping, bopping and enjoying the show in an intimate setting.
Sunday is free thus tonight what I'm paying for is my drinks and listening to great music.
The entire staff are wonderful, cool, friendly and love being here.
Love jazz, love La Fontaine!
Location: a bit difficult to find: take M2 or M3 to Gammel Strand station, find Hermes shop and walk all the way down until you find La Fontaine. It is before Comedy Zoo place.
La Fontaine has a small banner and entrance is behind a large wooden door. It is located on a little street, Kompenstrade.
