The Rhinoçéros team
Welcome to Rhinoçéros, our small Jazzbar, that was built around a beautiful vintage soundsystem and an always growing record collection. We play vinyl only. For joining our special Events, it is worth checking out the Event Calendar on this website and/or following us on Instagram.
We serve exquisite artisan Wines, classic Drinks and a variety of delicious Snacks.
We’re focused on Japanese Whiskies, but we do, of course, serve American / French / Irish, Scottish and even Brandenburg Whiskies, too.
In summer, our beautiful terrasse is the perfect spot to enjoy a warm evening in good company, and for darker days in Winter we offer a super cosy livingroom-atmosphere that involves a warming fireplace.
For our “Listening Sessions” , see the Events section for the complete program, music is played to a seated audience. Speaking or using devices during the session is forbidden.
We are a non-smoking bar.

Gianni Gebbia – first solo Lp (Soundevent, 1985)
Listening session and artist talk!
For our night nr. 19 we have the pleasure to have the artist as a guest, introducing us to the record as well as his almost 40 years long career.
Gianni Gebbia has practiced improvised music since the early 80’s and recorded around 80 albums, collaborating with many composers and musicians from Peter Kowald to Heiner Goebbels, from Fred Frith to (more recently) Tony Buck.
Together with Evan Parker, he pioneered circular breathing techniques: “[Gebbia’s] works touches on the avantgarde whilst maintaining a musicality and fluidity with his technique of circular breathing adding an extra element to his playing, the ability to create Reichian-like minimalism with a single breath whilst maintaining melodic structure” (Phonica Mag.)
Discover with us his first private-press LP, where he laid the foundation of his artistic research, crossing the bridge between traditional and experimental music stratifying each sound carefully to create deeply moving atmosphere.
✨The bar opens at 6:30 PM / The talk begins at 8:30 sharp!
✨ Free entrance, no reservations.
✨ We ask for silent listening during the length of the main record.
✨ Come early and/or stay late for a chat and a drink!

Thursday March 2nd we are looking forward to welcoming Jonathan Bockelmann for a rare and intimate small concert at the bar!
We fell in love directly with Jonathan Bockelmann light, serene acoustic guitar vignettes. Jonathan has studied classical guitar for about two decades, perfecting his technique and gaining mastery of the instrument alongside work with his electronic duo GLASKIN. His latest Album, Childish Mind on SQUAMA Records sees him explore a new compositional path by crafting delicately interwoven melodies for the acoustic guitar. From the gentle webs and patterns Jonathan creates, there’s a sense of meditativeness throughout the album—his music radiates out, filling moments with a sense of ease and calmness.
We open 18:30
Live starts 20:00

Great news! 🔥
Back in 2016, while we were planning our project as you now know as Rhinoceros, the work of @tokyojazzjoints was our window to the culture we wanted to pay homage to. Their labour plays a hudge role in dissemating the Japanase Jazz Bar / Kissa culture worldwide.
And now, finally, our dear friends @philiparneill and @mrokjazztokyo are releasing a proper hardcover, coffee table photobook, published by @kehrerverlag !
The publication is a co-production model, so you can help by buying it now in advance via a Kickstarter campaign. On top of that there are plenty of upgrades, so if you fancy a print of one of Philip’s beautiful photos or even go to visit James in Tokyo and get the full experience-tour of some of his favs Jazz spots, just check out their kickstarter page, there are plenty of options.
This book is for everybody who loves the Japanese culture, jazz, records, booze, great pictures, narratives, traveling, memorabilias...just as we do.
Please help and go support the project!

Stay for a drink after and listen to more music by Karen Mantler and related.

Tomorrow evening, Thursday Dec. 8th will have an evening dedicated!
At his high-flying, raw, prodigious best, Lee has the sound of a man whose doctor told him ‘You’ve got to play everything today because you won’t get the chance tomorrow.'
Going toe-to-toe with the likes of Coltrane, Gillespie, Shorter, McLean, Lee is shorthand for a virtuoso and a man on fire. His reputation as trumpet player is matched by his deft, tender and imaginative touch as a composer.
He achieved more in his thirty-three years than most men achieve in a lifetime. He joined Dizzy Gillespie’s band when he was just 18, played on Coltrane’s Blue Train when he was 19, and recorded 25 albums as a band leader on Blue Note.
Not sticking to just Lee’s discography - and hence the name for the evening, Usual Suspect, I will be playing a few albums Lee appears on - particularly his work with John Coltrane, Art Blakey and Jackie McLean.
Presented by Vito Nicholas @postvitz
