jazz in Hamilton?

since i'm still fairly new to hamilton, i'm not too familiar with the nightlife. i used to really enjoy the Rex in Toronto though... a "jazz and blues bar" on Queen West.

I'm not looking for the exact same thing, but is there any kind of a small venue that does local jazz & blues here on more than a really-occasional basis?

Check out viewmag.com , they have show & concert listings every week.
The website is a lil confusing, so if you have a chance, pick up an actual print copy of The View.

There USED to be a lounge called 'M Bar' or 'M Lounge' on James S @ Augusta, but has since closed

I believe the corktown pub has at least one jazz night a week -- wednesdays I think? www.corktownpub.ca
