Westword: Best Free Jazz Night Bar 404

When Bar 404 opened in December 2021 in the former home of Rory’s Tavern, owners Kerry O’Brien and Marty Varela were eager to start a music program.

Enter jazz veteran Ron LeGault, who had played in the building before and had experience in curating programs. After a test run of a weekly jazz series that consistently filled the room, every Wednesday since has been dedicated to free jazz performances from 7 to 9 p.m. You’ll find some of the same musicians you’d see at dedicated jazz clubs around town, but for free and in a neighborhood-bar atmosphere, with cheap but delicious bar food and drinks. Here is the Best of Denver for Bar 404 Jazz Night!!!

“Jazz 404” is hosted weekly by pianist Ron LeGault, Wednesdays from 7 to 9 pm.
Coming events
April 12 — Ron LeGault Trio, with Andrew Vogt, sax, and Ken Walker, bass
April 19 — Max Wagner, with Dave Hanson, piano, and Eli Acosta, bass
April 26 — Ron LeGault Trio, with Andrew Vogt, sax, and Ken Walker, bass

The music is jazz…The rhythm is strong…And the sound is inviting!
