The Blue Note jazz clubs are expanding into Europe, with a venue opening in Milan, Italy on Thursday to offer a top stage for big-name swing acts in the Old World.

The Blue Note franchise in Milan opened with a series of shows by jazz pianist Chick Corea. The main Blue Note, in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, already has sold four franchises in Japan.

New York’s Blue Note has been a venue for some of the best jazz talent since its 1981 debut. A famed but now closed club in Paris used the same name in the past.
