Walking into the Pasadena Jazz Institute

Paul Lines greeted us at the door and showed us around

There was a large performance space with lots of cozy little tables, and there were separate bar, pool and patio areas where you could hear the music and watch it on screen, but where you could also move around and socialize more or enjoy a little more privacy.
