Jazz, Tx will focus on providing patrons with the best jazz, blues, big band, Texas swing, salsa, conjunto, and Americana in the city, according to a press release sent out this morning. Set to open its doors in Spring 2016, the joint is said to be come in at around 3,500 square feet, so there will be plenty of room to cut a rug.

On the cocktail side of the equation, Jake Corney formerly with Bohanan's, currently with Paramour and half of the H&C Ice Company founders will helm the bar menu. Lorenzo Morales, previously with Arcade Midtown Kitchen will design a Texas-inspired food menu that will pair with the jazzy (puns always intended) tunes while still staying on board at Old Main Assoc.
