ABOUT US - 
Jazzway 6004 is a not-for-profit organization that promotes jazz and blues in an affordable and intimate setting and helps build local jazz audiences for our talented area musicians. Jazzway 6004 developed out of a need for more jazz venues in Baltimore to showcase the tremendous wealth of jazz talent in our area.
We also encourage visiting artists to contact us to perform at our venue.
THE VENUE: 
JAZZWAY 6004 is the home of local jazz/blues singer Marianne Matheny-Katz and her husband, Howard Katz, as well as a hospitable new venue for house concerts in Baltimore. This elegant party-house was built in 1966 by a well-known Baltimore bookie who hosted lavish, high-profile soirees. Local legend has it that both Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra were guests here. Having purchased the house in a grossly neglected state a few years ago, Marianne and Howard have lovingly refurbished it, and offer it now as a fun and intimate place to hear great jazz and other live music. The performance space seats 60-65 people. We have a complete sound system and a 6-ft Baldwin Grand piano. Dinner is included with Saturday concerts to provide a complete and personalized entertainment evening, and on Fridays we present desserts only concerts, which include dessert, coffe and soft drinks with each ticket.
HOW RESERVATIONS WORK: ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD IN ADVANCE - NO TICKETS ARE SOLD AT THE DOOR , NOR IS MONEY EXCHANGED. The house concerts are booked as private parties and the tickets are donations to the musicians. You can purchase tickets for separate events by clicking on "Buy Tickets and CD's" on our website. If you prefer, you also have the option of printing out the reservation form located on the same section of the website and mailing it to us with a check. All checks must be received 3 days before the concert is held, but on-line tickets can be purchased up to 4 hours before the concert.

A NOTE TO ARTISTS ABOUT FUTURE BOOKINGS: We are currently booked through June 2010. Because we are in a residential neighborhood, we present only 8 concerts eachg year, so there are few slots and many requests to perform.
We have turned over ALL future bookings to a selection committee because there are too many requests to process or respond to on an individual basis. The committee will select the artists for the 2010-2011 season and will contact the artists who have been selected.
