JAZZ in FT LAUDERDALE?

Question

i am coming into town either 4th of july weekend or the weekend after (july 11-13th). I am looking for a restaurant, lounge or club that plays jazz or has a live jazz band. ALL types of jazz, preferably, spanish jazz (like gypsy kings style), contemporary jazz or classic jazz, whatever. BUT regardless, I just would like to accumulate a list of jazz-places to go to in ft. lauderdale so that i have several places to choose from. thanks!!

Lauderdale is much smaller than the choices that you can find in Miami.  Miami has a greater number of latin jazz, samba, bossa nova clubs than you can find in Ft. Lauderdale.  If you head to Miami you can also pick and choose what neighborhood you want to hang out at.  You have Aventura, Southbeach, Coconut Grove, Calle Ocho, Downtown, Design District, Sunset Place.
