One of the vicitims of the Old Town fire of 2002 was the Bridge Jazz Bar. Proprietor Bill Kyle asked local jazz stalwarts for their help backing a new venture to replace the much-loved old place; aficionados dug deep, and the Jazz Bar duly arrived on Chambers Street. There are three gigs a night (four on Saturdays) from local and visiting groups; late nights slide into a funkier club vibe. Oddly, the Jazz Bar doesn't play a part in the Edinburgh International Jazz & Blues Festival, which is missing a trick by not providing a focal point for night-owl players.
