A Curated Listening Experience
Between Fish Gaucho and the Cane Tiki Room is the Libretto Jazz Club. Steps away are bustling tasting rooms, restaurants and shops of downtown Paso. As you walk through the front door and descend the stairs it feels like an escape from the everyday. And as you enter the intimate lounge, you’ll see exposed stone and brick walls, leather booths and cocktail tables with museum quality lighting. It’s a feast to your eyes as well as your ears.
Libretto has great instruments, acoustics and musicians, but what truly sets it apart is the audience. Accommodating 62 attendees per show, the seating is set up to encourage audience engagement with performers. The stage is not set apart, but as part of the room – making this venue one of the most distinct listening experiences around.
About the Owner
AMSTRDM Coffee House opened in 2020 as a coffee shop and piano lounge, and maintains live music performances today. AMSTRDM soon gained popularity amongst musicians for the high-quality instrument in an intimate and unique setting. As owners Corey Jordan and Katelyn Smith began outgrowing their coffee shop venue, they were looking for a larger space while maintaining an intimate experience. That space, Libretto, opened in 2021.
Come and take in the premier jazz experience on the west coast for yourself. You might catch Jordan, who in addition to being the owner is also a concert pianist and film composer, tickling the ivories at Libretto. Other hosted musical talent spans legends like four-time Grammy award winning musician and composer Yay Yennings and emerging and future award winners like Julien Knowles.
