DownBeat names two Milwaukee jazz venues among the world’s best in 2016

Here’s some music for Milwaukee jazz fans’ ears: DownBeat released its Jazz Venue Guide – a compilation of the year’s top clubs from around the globe, whether they’re new innovators, established legends or somewhere between – with two Milwaukee locales making the grade: The Jazz Estate and the Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts. For this year’s edition, the longtime Chicago-based jazz and blues magazine named 195 clubs to its global guide – with the newly reopened East Side landmark and the diverse Riverwest staple amongst those honored, the only two venues selected from Wisconsin.
