The Israeli jazz scene has been in full bloom for quite some time now, and it owes a lot to venues like Beit HaAmudim. Located in an old house decorated with columns and painted floors, and situated right next to the Carmel Market, this club is the meeting point of the city’s jazz aficionados. “It’s the place where musicians hang,” says Tamuz Nissim, a Tel Aviv native and a jazz singer who studied in Amsterdam, lived in Athens and is now based in New York. “People go there specifically for the music. It’s really quiet — the bassists play acoustically, no amp.”
