When a well-known business leader shines a light on a lesser-known cultural spot abroad, it naturally grabs attention. That's what happened when Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group, shared a glimpse of a hidden jazz venue in New York, far from the usual tourist spots.
In a short but engaging post on social media, Mahindra took his followers to a small jazz space in Brooklyn– a place that stood out not just for its music but for the unique experience it offered.
A Jazz experience that feels personal
Hidden inside a historic brownstone in Brooklyn, this intimate spot– called Brownstone Jazz– is nothing like your typical concert venue. It's cozy, informal, and open to just 28 people at a time.
The idea is to create a close, personal connection between the audience and the music.

Anand Mahindra compared it to an Indian-style mehfil, where the gap between performers and listeners fades away. At Brownstone Jazz, the music isn't just played– it's shared. Musicians often pause to talk about jazz legends and their own stories, making the whole experience feel warm, personal, and deeply engaging.

Seasoned jazz musicians– including Grammy winners– regularly perform here, offering a rare kind of experience even in a city like New York: world-class talent in a living-room-style space.
According to a report by the Economic Times, tickets are priced at around $55 (approximately ₹4,700) - a detail that caught many people's attention after Anand Mahindra's post. While not exactly cheap, it's still more affordable than most high-profile jazz events featuring artists of this calibre.
Reactions online: Curiosity, admiration, and debate
Anand Mahindra's post quickly gained attention on social media, sparking both curiosity and conversation. Many people appreciated the venue's effort to keep classic jazz alive in such a small, personal setting. Some even said they'd never heard of a place like this in New York and were now eager to visit.
At the same time, a few people questioned how accessible this kind of experience truly is, especially for Indian audiences who may not have the means to travel or spend on niche cultural events abroad. One user wrote, '99.9% of Indians can't afford this, so why post such a useless tweet?'
