300 South Brevard Street, Charlotte, NC 28202Middle C Jazz Club Overview
Middle C Jazz opened on November 1, 2019, in Uptown Charlotte. Entertainment veteran Larry Farber developed the venue with his sons Adam and Reid, creating a dedicated home for live music in an intimate, professionally designed listening room.
The approximately 200-seat club combines a cabaret-style layout with carefully produced performances. Guests sit at tables facing the stage, making the venue notably different from a standing-room concert hall or large arena.
Its calendar spans traditional and contemporary jazz, smooth jazz, blues, R&B, funk, soul, and selected tribute performances. Middle C Jazz hosts Charlotte-area musicians alongside nationally and internationally recognized artists.
The club has earned regional recognition, including The Charlotte Observer's Best Live Music Venue awards in 2024 and 2025 and Queen City Nerve's Best Place to Hear Jazz in those years. Its official website also highlights DownBeat's 2026 World's Great Jazz Venues recognition.
Middle C Jazz is located across from the Charlotte Convention Center, close to Uptown hotels, restaurants, and the LYNX Blue Line.
