Description
Imagine jazz melodies floating through the warm Corfiot evening air, as the sun dips behind the Old Fortress's walls and the historic marina glimmers below. Welcome to Jazz in the Heart of Corfu: a hidden musical gem on the music island of Greece. Following four sold-out seasons across unique locations on the island, this summer our pop-up jazz club returns to its original home: the marina-side terrace of the Corfu Sailing Restaurant, a rare find which offers the perfect backdrop for a night of music, storytelling and connection. Nestled beside the Venetian walls within the Old Harbor, this "living room" by the sea invites you to experience Corfu like a local. From 19.30 onwards (doors open at 19.00), Sofia and a curated lineup of local jazz talent welcome you to a relaxed and intimate setting. Enjoy three vibrant performances as the sun reflects off the Ionian Sea, paired with local stories about the island & its unique music culture and optional delicious local offerings.

Enchanting journey
Really a unique experience! From the moment we arrived we felt great. The place, i.e. the location enchanting you! We were very welcomed and we immediately felt very familiar. When the music starts, you escape the mind, you escape reality. Bravo to the musicians! The food very good, and the service very nice kids. We were pleased! I wish we could make time to go back!

Gorgeous views and sensational jazz.
Amazing views and gorgeous jazz straight from the corfu music academy. Super friendly hostess and good (affordable) food.

Could do with being a bit more jazzy, and screened off from the general public.
Lovely setting and on the whole a pleasant evening. I was just expecting it to be more upbeat, with some lively jazz as well, I thought there might be people getting up to dance or at least toe-tapping, but it was very very slow ... The musicians were good and the team just lovely, warm and welcoming, but it was a little overpriced for what it was. I noticed that at least 6 couples left by the second interval which was a shame. No-one checked my ticket when I arrived, I just walked in and sat down. The intimacy and privacy of the event was spoilt by people walking through and sitting at the marina. - They, in effect, got a free gig! This would be much improved by placing a sort of barrier or screeing around the tables area making it clear it was a private (& paid for!) event. My food was "OK" except that it took an hour and a half to arrive, and was cold (adjoining table had the same issues).
Operator response
Dear guest, Thank you very much for sharing your impressions of your evening with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed the talent of our musicians and the warm welcome from our team, though we are truly sorry that some aspects of the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We are very sorry for the delay and temperature of the food that evening. This is not our usual standard and we are already addressing it with the team of the Restaurant. As for the music itself, we are proud of the carefully curated program presented at Jazz in the Heart of Corfu. Each edition features hand-picked talents offering a versatile variety of jazz – from standards and Latin jazz to bossa nova, more up-tempo moments, and even jazzed-up Greek songs. The aim is to create an intimate, soulful journey for our guests, showcasing both international and local flavors of jazz. We are glad you recognized the quality of the musicians, who truly give their best to each performance. Regarding the intimacy of the setting, we understand your point and we take it seriously. Normally, our guests enjoy a private and exclusive atmosphere with the performance area screened off from the public. On this particular evening, because it was September with fewer visitors at the marina and coinciding with the full moon, we decided to open the side covering to give a more open and atmospheric view. Even so, our valued guests always enjoy first visibility of the musicians, reserved seating with tables and chairs for comfort and the dedicated attention and care of our team throughout the two-and-a-half-hour experience. Passers-by at the marina may occasionally stop briefly, but they do not share in the exclusive experience of being part of the event. We will nevertheless continue to reinforce the sense of privacy and exclusivity that defines Jazz in the Heart of Corfu. Thank you once again for your thoughtful feedback. We hope you will join us again, so we may offer you the full experience at its very best. Warm regards, Sofia & the Corfu Music Experiences Team

Very enjoyable, relaxed jazz in the marina by the sea. Talented musicians,beautiful spot with the sea in the background
Beautiful space facing the sea. Musicians Gregory and Ilias are very talented. Singer Vasiliki (Vanessa ) has an amazing, smoky voice.They played 3 sets ,beautifully arranged.Sofia introduced the musicians and told some facts about the island. I took the bus to Benetsi and back to Corfu town, it worked out great. A must for a jazz lover!

Superb
The music, the musicians, sound quality, location, MC-ing, vibes were excellent! It surpassed all my expectations. Bravo, we had an amazing experience! PS: The caramel passion cocktail was very good (although quite expensive), but the food was meh. PPS: ending with greek/corfiot style with Greek lyrics provided a punch of authenticity and soulfulness
