We wanted to share the success of a local business: Heidi's Jazz Club, located at 7 North Orlando Avenue, www.heidisjazzclub.com.
Heidi's is listed in the JAZZIZ, November 2007 issue, as one of the "best clubs in North America, where much of the best jazz is created - and the noise you hear around you is life." Eight Florida clubs were listed, seven of which, are in South Florida. The listing includes 88 clubs found in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, Washington DC, and Canada. Thanks Heidi's for offering Cocoa Beach great jazz. You are appreciated.
