Jazz is alive and swinging in Dorsoduro, where the res-
ident Venice Jazz Club Quartet pays regular respects to Miles Davis and John Coltrane,
heats up on Latin Friday, and grooves to bossa nova and chanteuse standards. Drinks are
steep, so starving artists booze beforehand and arrive by 8pm to pounce on complimentary
cold-cut platters.
SOIREES IN THE SCUOLA
Music and dancing in a religious institution? Rome tried to forbid it for centuries, but the Venetian tradition contin-
ues today at the Scuola Grande dei Carmini with
