Forte. bol. Bronnaya 18. Tel: +7 (495) 2028833 [Instrumental in promoting the blues scene in Moscow at the start of the 90s, the intimate club Forte was the first place to give bands total creative license ? as well as allowing them to play as loud as they wanted (making the club more popular with its patrons than with its neighbours). Today Forte?s reputation as a quality live music venue remains undiminished, with regular jazz, rock, blues and various eclectic performances the norm. The emphasis at Forte is very much on the music so expert substance over style. ]
