In the 1940s, there was one integrated jazz club in New York City where all the greats played: Café Society in the West Village. Today, The Café Society is a jazz quintet led by tenor saxophonist Justin Flynn and vocalist Emily Wade Adams. Their NYC-based ensemble collaborates with the city's finest jazz musicians to deliver swinging standards with sophistication and soul.

The Café Society has performed at some of the East Coast’s most prestigious music venues and toured their acclaimed Nancy Wilson & Cannonball Adderley tribute across the Northeast. They played the premiere party for Broadway’s "Good Night Oscar" starring Tony-winner Sean Hayes, and each of their released recordings has been chosen as an All About Jazz “Song of the Day.”

Their latest album, “Blame It On My Youth,” showcases their scholarly approach: captured in single live takes, featuring musicians with deep lineage, and mixed/mastered by 4x Grammy winner Dave Darlington.
