Tonight, Thursday 24 September 2026, the jazz room on Avenida Paulista runs two sets and neither is flagged as running low. All times below are São Paulo time, four hours behind London.
What’s On Tonight
Blue Note São Paulo lists two separate shows tonight. Adriano Grineberg opens at 8 p.m. with a Ray Charles and BB King celebration.
The late set at 10.30 p.m. is Walerie Gondim with “Estado de Graça”. The club’s own page for the show calls it her first, built on the songs of Gal Costa.
Gondim played Gal Costa on stage this year in “Gal – O Musical”. She performs with a quartet, and the club says the show carries its own arrangements rather than copies of the records.
That page names “Baby”, “Tigresa” and “Flor de Maracujá” among the songs. It says the set also reaches for hidden corners of the catalogue.
Neither set carried a last-tickets label on the club’s programme on 24 September. Friday and Saturday both did.
The club publishes no price, on its programme index or on either show page. The figure appears only at the Eventim checkout that the buy button opens.
One ticket covers one session, and the club clears the room within 15 minutes of the first set. Anyone staying for the second must buy again, subject to space, and rejoin the queue.
Two Ways into the Same Room, for Nothing
The club marks its daytime music sessions “entrada gratuita” on its own homepage, apart from the ticketed evening programme. Saturday brings Feijoada Raiz, from midday to 4 p.m.
Sunday brings Brunch Music, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Both carry live music, a samba circle on Saturday and jazz on Sunday, and the club marks entry to both as free.
Food and drink are charged separately in each case. The feijoada and brunch buffets are free for children up to five and half price from six to eleven.
The music is the part that costs nothing.
That matters for a first visit. You can see the room, the stage and the sightlines before you commit to a ticket.
A weekday lunch session, Tuesday to Friday from midday to 3 p.m., carries the same free-entry mark.
It is also the answer if the weekend evenings sell through. Friday and Saturday both carry the club’s last-tickets label.
The club takes bookings for the daytime sessions, for up to 25 people, on (11) 7577-0900.
The Rest of the Weekend
Friday brings Amy Reggaehouse in two sets, at 8 p.m. and 10.30 p.m. The club says the tribute was founded in Salvador and is led by the singer Clariana.
It was named best Amy Winehouse tribute in the world in 2020, the club says.
Saturday brings Demônios da Garoa with “Clássicos & Bossas”, also at 8 p.m. and 10.30 p.m. Both nights already carry last-tickets labels.
Sunday is a single early show at 7 p.m., Frã Finamore’s Tim Maia birthday tribute. No show is listed for Monday, and the programme resumes on Tuesday.
Two Things to Check First
Only the late set has a price in circulation, and it comes from press listings rather than from the club. The 8 p.m. set has no published price at the club or in those listings.
Canto da Ema, the forró house in Pinheiros, has published no act for tonight. Forró is a couples dance from the northeast, and the only dated entry on the house’s own agenda page is 31 December.
Nothing on the house’s site says whether it opens tonight or who plays. Ring (11) 2503-2915 before crossing the city.
Where to Go

The São Paulo branch of the New York jazz club, open since February 2019. It fills a hall of about 800 square metres on the second floor of the Conjunto Nacional.

Money and How Paying Works
The club sells through its own site and through Eventim, and it says it takes no responsibility for tickets bought anywhere else. Neither of tonight’s prices is published on its pages, so read the figure at the checkout before you pay.
Mídia NINJA’s listing for the late set gives R$140 full and R$70 half, or about US$27.40 and US$13.70. That figure is the press’s rather than the club’s, which publishes no price for either set tonight.
Canto da Ema publishes a standard door price of R$55 full and R$27 half. That is about US$10.76 and US$5.28 at about 5.11 reais to the dollar.
The house says both price and hours change with the event, and it lists no event for tonight.
Food and drink are billed separately from any ticket. Restaurants usually add a service charge of about 10 per cent, called serviço.
It is customary rather than compulsory, and staff remove it if you ask.
What This Means for Your Evening
Tonight is a real choice between two evenings in one room. The 8 p.m. set suits dinner, and the late one runs past midnight.
Tables go by arrival order rather than by booking. The second-floor box office opens at 7 p.m. tonight, and arriving near that is the way to sit close to the stage.
If the weekend interests you more, book it today. Both Friday and Saturday evenings carry the club’s last-tickets label.
Getting Home Safe
The 8 p.m. set finishes inside normal metro hours. The 10.30 p.m. set will not, so plan a car if you take the late one.
Consolação is on line 2-Green, and weeknight service ends around midnight. Check the last train for your own line on the Metrô or ViaQuatro sites before you go.
Avenida Paulista stays busy and well lit into the night. Wait for a ride-hailing car on the avenue rather than on a side street.
The club’s parking is inside the Conjunto Nacional, entered from Rua Padre João Manuel 60. It is not affiliated with the venue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is on at Blue Note tonight?
Two separate sets. Adriano Grineberg plays a Ray Charles and BB King celebration at 8 p.m., and Walerie Gondim sings Gal Costa at 10.30 p.m.
Can I still get a ticket?
Neither set carried the club’s last-tickets label on 24 September. That is a status rather than a guarantee, so buy online before you travel.

Yes, in the daytime. The club marks entry free at Feijoada Raiz on Saturday from midday and at Brunch Music on Sunday from 10 a.m.
Can I bring someone under 18?
Only with a parent or legal guardian. The club states that rule on its own information page.
