Well Kath, I agree the new Jazz Café is a work in progress and it has not attempted to capture the ambience of the old place. How could it? It took Crombie nigh on 20 years to create the jazz slum (and I use the expression endearingly) that was "The Caff". To try and even half achieve the ambience of the old place would never work. Crombie was the ambience not fixtures and fittings. Rather than slag off after a visit on opening night let's just be pleased that another venue for jazz in the city has opened its doors.
Is it a jazz venue? Or is it a wine bar with jazz in the background (for now)?
