The Night in Context
Thursday is a jazz night on Avenida Paulista. Blue Note lists two sets tonight, one early and one late, so you can plan around dinner.
The weather decides the plan. With rain forecast at 90 per cent or more through the evening, rooms with seats and food, such as Blue Note and JazzB, beat anything outdoors.
For a first-time visitor, Avenida Paulista is the easiest address. It has several metro stations, many ride-app pick-ups and plenty of restaurants for a pre-show dinner.
Blue Note’s two-set format makes planning simple. The 8 p.m. set suits an early night, and the 10:30 p.m. set suits a late dinner first.
Casa Natura Musical’s Juliana Linhares show is listed as sold out, so do not make the trip to Pinheiros without a ticket.
Practical Notes
- —Transport Use a ride app such as Uber or 99, a Brazilian ride app, or the metro to Consolação or Trianon-Masp, two stations on the green line. In rain, ride apps get slow and dearer, so leave early.
- —Tickets Buy through the venue’s own ticket links, and avoid street sellers.
- —Weather Expect about 21°C (70°F) and likely rain. Bring an umbrella and shoes that handle wet pavements.
- —Safety Keep your phone out of sight on busy avenues and carry a copy of your passport rather than the original.
What We Could Not Confirm
- —Blue Note São Paulo The show pages give times and availability but no prices.
- —JazzB The page shows no price.
- —Other venues Sesc, the state-run network of cultural centres, Cine Joia and other clubs could not be read, so we do not list unconfirmed shows.
