🎶✨ More than a jazz club, Dave’s Jazz Bistro is a tribute to a life well lived.

Inspired by the late David Ballantyne Curtis—a devoted lover of jazz, fine dining, and community—Dave’s Jazz Bistro was created to honor his passion for bringing people together through music and great food.

Today, that vision lives on through his family, including his daughter Kristen Krell, who helped bring the Bistro to life, and acclaimed musician John Rangel, our Jazz Curator. Together, they have created a unique Santa Fe experience where world-class jazz meets exceptional dining in an intimate setting.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of live music, delicious cuisine, and the warm spirit that inspired it all. Whether you're a longtime jazz enthusiast or simply looking for a special night out, there's a seat waiting for you at Dave's Jazz Bistro.
