Our intimate club is inspired by New York’s jazz scene. The club has its own entrance and is located in the basement of Amerikalinjen. With a stage, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, a kitchen and dining facilities, Gustav can accommodate many types of events and arrangements.
The club is named after Gustav Henriksen, the founder of Amerikalinjen. In the years prior to the opening of the Norwegian American Line he was met with huge resistance, but Gustav knew that people wanted to explore, and in 1913 the first ship left the dock. His work was the start of a 60-year long adventure – for all the thousands of people who emigrated, for Amerikalinjen and for Norway. Let yourself be inspired! The club reflects Gustav’s playful, New York and jazzy side.
Come join us for Weekend Jazz sessions and experience smoky tunes and an electric atmosphere: you will always feel welcome!
Doors open at 19:00 and 21:30. Concerts start 30 minutes later, giving you enough time to find your seat and get a cocktail.

The Best of Carlos Jobim By channeling the rhythms and musicality of Carlos Jobim, notably as interpreted by the esteemed Stan Getz and paying homage to the unparalleled Elis Regina, Brazilian jazz has indelibly carved its distinct niche in the annals of musical history. This genre stands as a unique and significant contribution to the rich tradition of jazz, perpetuating its own sonic identity. We extend a warm invitation to the wonderful Brazilian vocalist Bruna Santana, who, in collaboration with Felix Peikli & Friends, will unveil a selection from the illustrious Brazilian Jazz repertoire. Join us in this celebration of exotic rhythms and unforgettable melodies!
Felix Peikli & Friends ft. Alphonso Horne (USA) & Lucy Wijnands (USA)
The Music of Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald Nicknamed “Satchmo” and “Pops,” Louis Armstrong helped shape 20th-century jazz with his groundbreaking trumpet sound and gravelly voice. “The First Lady of Jazz,” Ella Fitzgerald, enchanted audiences with her radiant tone, swing, and masterful scat. Together, they created some of jazz’s most beloved duets. Club Gustav presents Alphonso Horne and Lucy Wijnands in a special tribute. Horne, a multi-GRAMMY nominee and star of Louis Armstrong – A Wonderful World, is known for his soulful trumpet and charisma. Wijnands, winner of the Ella Fitzgerald Vocal Competition, brings warmth and timeless style. Joined by Felix Peikli & Friends, they honor the legacy of Armstrong and Fitzgerald.
Felix Peikli & Friends ft. Christian Lundquist
The Music of Benny Goodman Known as the “King of Swing,” Benny Goodman was one of the defining figures of American jazz. With his virtuosic clarinet playing, groundbreaking big band, and trailblazing role in integrating the jazz stage, Goodman helped bring swing music to an international audience and shaped an entire era of popular culture. We invite you to a special Club Gustav performance celebrating Goodman’s legacy, presented by Felix Peikli & Friends and featuring vibraphonist Christian Lundquist, the renowned percussionist of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra (KORK). Together, they revisit the unmistakable energy and elegance of the 1930’s swing era and the Benny Goodman sound!
