For two decades, Bennett's Lane Jazz Club was Melbourne's most celebrated jazz venue, tucked down a narrow alley in the CBD. The intimate room won best jazz club in Australia twice and drew both local musicians and international touring acts. It closed in 2015 when the building was sold for redevelopment -- a loss still felt in the city's music scene. The laneway itself remains, and Melbourne's jazz community has scattered to other venues around town, but regulars will tell you nothing quite replaced it.
