Jazzy 'juke joint' strikes a chord with local blues and rock scene

When McNeely opened the Jazzhouse years ago, he set out to bring live music and musicians like Gretz to Lawrence.

In a back office of the Jazzhaus, $92\frac{1}{2}$ Massachusetts, amidst the smells of Ricky Lee Jones and the smell of homemade soup, owner McNeely sits below a collection of photographs that feature musicians such as Stan Getz and the Juke Jumpers.
Blues Brothers:
He got the name for his club when he came to Europe. He came up a place in Copenhagen, Denmark, called the Jazzhus. McNeyla said he liked the sound of it. Thus, the Jazzhus was born.

The Jazzhaus is not necessarily true to its name.
MeNelyi is a 1976 KU graduate, sain be used to play saxophone in an old style rhythm and blues band like the Blues Brothers.
"The Jazzhaus is more like St. Louis bars." Milford said. "It is kept on tervisher than most bars and it's not tervisher. I usually go with a large group of friends to see Common Ground."
"We feature all kinds of music," McNeely said. "Rock and rhythm and blues and reggae. You can't restrict your business to just jazz. It would fold."

Jody Hilford, St. Louis sophomore,
went to the Jazzhaus when certain plays played, such as a reggae band called Common Ground.
Group:
Robert Burnett, Topeka graduate student, said he frequently went to the Jazzhaus for different reasons
the Jazzhaus for different "I enjoy the atmosphere," Burnett said. "There are mature people — the above 21 crowd goes there. You can enjoy delicious cheese platters and nachos by candlelight. It is one of the few clubs that is open until 2:30 a.m."
McNeely described his club as a neighborhood bar, such as the one in the television comedy series "Cheers," as well as a rock n' roll hall and a place for sit-down concerts.
Live music is featured at the club Wednesday through Saturday. Tonight and tomorrow night, Ron Thompson and the Resistors will be playing. McNeely said the group members were demented rock n' rollers worth listening to.
Burnett said the Jazzbaz was sometimes a relaxing and quiet place to go with friends and talk.

'We feature all kinds of music — rock and rhythm and blues and reggae. You can't restrict your business to just jazz. It would fold. It's a great place to come for a decent drink with candlelight and tablecloths. It is the love of music that keeps this place going.'

Cracking in a new band is difficult, he said. Three well-known performers could play together under a different name and no one would come because no one had heard of the band.

and atmosphere.
"It has the best dancing in Lawrentt," Pitzer said. "I like the compelled there because you don't feel compelled to be a certain kind of person. It's not a single bar or a pick-up place."
Alfred Fitzner, Wichita senior, has been to many of the bars in Lawrence, said he liked the music and atmosphere of the Jazzahaus.
"It's a great place to come for a decent drink with candlight and tablecloths," he said. "Some people come just to get out of the house."
MeNeely said his club would never have a television. If someone wants to watch television he can stay at home. The Jazzhaus is a place where someone can hear old rock, old blues, or new jazz.
The idea for the Jaekhaus came to McNeely in January 1982, a year which he said had many business failures. Today, he is pleased to see his so-called "juke joint" doing well against the top 40-oriented bars in Lawrence.
come just is it is fun at the lazzahaus," Pitznier said. "I always surprised by really neat and new music."
Lawrence has attracted musicians because it is in the middle of the country and fits into most touring schedules, McNeely said.
