Into the Blue

Jazz of Japan #157 • May 12, 2023 • Brian McCrory

Into the Blue jazz club, located near Machida station in Tokyo, Japan

Clean, neat, and organized, Into the Blue is one tidy jazz spot. The overhead vaulted ceiling is awash in the cool blue light, arching almost like a church roof, with jazz instruments set up at one end up above like statues around an altar to jazz.

Here at Into the Blue, the sound is upfront and close, like a mini concert hall or listening room with a kitchen in the back. Like the clean and blue atmosphere, it can be a refreshing change compared to some other cramped, dark big city jazz bars.

There are many options for drinks and food on the menu including Margherita pizza and the like. The Into the Blue house cocktail is tempting, surely going well with the ocean blue lighting and overall calm sense of this tidy shop.
