Vår intime klubb er inspirert av New Yorks jazzscene. Klubben har egen inngang og ligger i Amerikalinjens underetasje. Med scene, state of the art lys- og lydanlegg, kjøkken og mulighet for servering kan Gustav romme mange typer eventer og arrangementer.
Klubben har navn etter Gustav Henriksen, Amerikalinjens grunnlegger. I årene før åpningen av linjen møtte han massiv motstand, men Gustav visste at folk ville ut, og i 1913 la det første skipet fra kai. Hans innsats ble starten på et 60 år langt eventyr – for alle de tusenvis av menneskene som reiste, for Amerikalinjen og for Norge. La deg inspirere! Klubben dyrker Gustavs lekne, New York- og jazz-glade side.
Hver helg arrangerer vi live jazz sessions med norske og utenlandske artister og lover en varm og pulserende atmosfære, velkommen!

PROGRAM
Felix Peikli & Friends ft. Venke Knutson
International Women's Day: Women in Jazz
Women have been an undeniable force throughout the many eras of jazz history, as performers, composers, songwriters and bandleaders. Already in the 1920’s «Ina Hutton & Her Melodears», an all female orchestra, blazed trails through the American music industry at the same rate as their male counterparts like the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Benny Goodman Orchestra to name a few. Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Eartha Kitt, Nina Simone - the list of women who dedicated their lives and careers to the contribution of jazz is long. Join us in welcoming the Club Gustav favorite - Venke Knutson, as she joins Felix Peikli & Friends in paying homage to the heroines in jazz!
