Jazz Club etiquette

I might go to a Jazz club in Germany later this year. I've never been to a jazz club, obviously you go well dressed but what then? I'll be alone, am I expected to order food? Can I just drink and watch the band?

You can certainly have just a few drinks. Don't overdress, and follow everyone else when it comes to clapping after solos. Don't make too much noise.

Yup - always initiated by a handful of head-shaking front-row musos who have just witnessed a performer do a solo that they couldn't do.

How did it go OP?
