If you are looking for a cool place to hang out with great music in Shanghai then get down to The Cotton Club. Dark, cramped and smokey, this place is a well known jazz bar in Shanghai. The house band is amazing and pumps out such an awesome vibe you can't help focusing all your attention on them so don't be surprised if the conversation at your table literally comes to an abrupt halt when they start.

Below are a few photos I shot on the first night I heard the band.
