Jazz clubs have always been an essence to NYC's character. So much, that they're now offering festivals in both summer and winter. Check out some of Time Out NY's must-see performances during this years' Winter Jazz Festival.

This year’s seventh edition features a dizzying 60-plus sets over two nights—here are five not to miss.

Bassist-composer Chris Lightcap presents music from his long-time-coming third LP, Deluxe, a marvel of dreamy lyricism.
