The Bennetts Lane Jazz Club〔(Official website. )〕 is a music venue in Melbourne, Australia, located off Little Lonsdale Street.〔(Location at Google Maps. )〕 It has operated since 1992, with a second room, the Jazz Lab, opening in 2000.〔("Discover the Lane" ), Bennett's Lane. Retrieved 10 January 2012.〕〔Claire Halliday, ("Can you dig it?", ) ''The Age'', 2 May 2005. Retrieved 10 January 2012.〕 The club has hosted local and international musicians and was a venue for the Melbourne Jazz Festival. Lonely Planet called it "the world's best jazz club" and it won the Best Venue Award at the Australian Jazz Awards in 2003〔Carolyn Webb, ("Top honour for jazz veteran 'Lazy Ade'", ) ''The Age'', 29 August 2003. Retrieved 10 January 2012.〕 and 2004.〔Greg Burchall, ("Giving is its own award", ) ''The Age'', May 24, 2006. Retrieved 10 January 2012.〕〔Andra Jackson, ("Round midnight in Melbourne", ) ''The Age'', 18 April 2009. Retrieved 10 January 2012.〕 The venue closed its doors, supposedly for the last time, on 15 June 2015, following the sale of the real estate assets by owner and venue founder Michael Tortoni, apparently to a developer intent on building an apartment complex on the site. A number of rumours then circulated 〔("Live Music Venue Bennetts Lane To Reopen", )"Beat Magazine"〕〔Marc Pallisco, ("Capital Gain: Bennetts Lane Jazz Club to move to Grand Hyatt", ) "Sydney Morning Herald", 10 July 2015〕〔Michael Dwyer, ("Melbourne jazz club Bennetts Lane to split into two new venues", ) "Sydney Morning Herald", 8 June 2015〕 suggesting the venue would re-open at some alternative location, with sites in Flinders Lane (in the Melbourne CBD) and Brunswick (an inner-northern suburb), and even within the Grand Hyatt Melbourne hotel. The venue reopened on 27 August 2015, pending further discussions on the future of the site.〔()〕 Musicians to perform there have included: *The Cat Empire *Harry Connick, Jr. *Chick Corea〔Michael Dwyer, ("Prodigy makes great Corea move on her stairway to jazz heaven", ) ''The Age'', 5 May 2007.
