The Bird of Paradise Jazz Club is located in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. It has been called "a jazz lover's paradise", and features live music every night of the week. Many of jazz's biggest names have performed or jammed there in the past ten years. The telephone number there is (734) 662-8310 if you need to get more info.

How to get to the Bird

From Interstate 94, take the Ann Arbor-Saline Road exit north into town. You will pass Michigan's football stadium on the right. After cruising downhill for a number of blocks, you'll become aware of the downtown area rising up in front of you. When you come to William Street (or the next one, Liberty), take a left and go one block west to Ashley. Turn right (Ashley Street is one way north). The Bird is at 207 S. Ashley, on the East (right) side of the street. You'll probably have to park in a lot in the block past the Bird. It's just good to be aware of where the place is at, and then find a parking space, and THEN walk back to the Bird, knowing exactly where it is. Look for the neon saxophone sign.
