Re: any good jazz or blues clubs in NYC?

anyone who doesn't know about the village vanguard isn't a jazz fan IMO. be sure and tell her that

that's kind of like asking if there are taxi cabs in NYC :) It's home to some of the most legendary jazz spots on the planet... Village Vanguard, as tiddles mentioned. Also google Birdland, Blue Note, or Cotton Club.

You've got Blue Note, Village Vanguard, Birdland, the Jazz Standard & Iridium.

Personally I've heard that Smoke on Broadway is the best budget option - they have some fantastic musicians playing straight ahead jazz:
