It’s the moment many an AFOL has been looking forward to all season. The 2023 Modular reveal is here! On January 1, the LEGO® Group releases the Jazz Club (10312). Similar to the Police Station from two years ago, the Jazz Club also features two buildings. One appears proper-sized, the other is narrow. The narrow building houses a pizzeria. The building is stunning, but don’t take my word for it, check out the pictures below!

The LEGO Group unveils the hottest new music venue in town – the LEGO Jazz Club. A vibrant addition to the LEGO Modular Building collection, the LEGO Jazz Club banishes the blues, bringing the theme of music to the collection for the first time.
LEGO® Group Press Release
Featuring a decorative interior and exterior, the set can be built in five pieces and includes a Jazz Club, a Pizzeria, a Managerial office, a Tailor’s workshop, a Dressing Room and a Rooftop Green House on the lower roof.
Interestingly, despite the press release’s claims that this is the first set to bring the music theme to the Modular Building Collection, it actually is not. You might recall that Assembly Square featured a music store above the coffee shop. Additionally, Downtown Diner had a recording studio. So, the theme of music is ever present in the collection. However, this is the first time we’re seeing a club for performing music.
The annual modular building announcement is always one of the highlights of my year in terms of LEGO® collecting. I have almost all of them. I’m missing some of the early ones from around the end of my dark ages. This particular model does not disappoint either. Based on a preliminary look at the box, I dare say it even fits better with the collection than last year’s Boutique Hotel. Oops… did I mention a preliminary look at the box? Well, okay, since you’re twisting my arm… Yes, I already have Jazz Club and a full review is coming soon! In the meantime, you can check out my reveal video from TikTok below (or check it out on Instagram). What do you think of the 2023 modular reveal? Let me know in the comments below or reach out on social media.
Until next time,

IMHO the colors just look wrong, especially that bright blue on the first floor. For me, it looks like a letdown after the last two years, which were absolutely amazing. I’ll probably skip this year, as I did with the bookshop.
You’re not alone in your feelings about the colors. Others have written to me about the same issue.
Definitely buying this for the collection.
It’s a beauty! The collection won’t be complete without it😉
