Explanation:

In this conversation, the present perfect and past simple tenses are used to talk about past experiences and actions. Let's analyze each sentence:

A 1. Have you ever been (you / ever / go) to a jazz club? - The correct form is "Have you ever been" because we are asking about a past experience. The verb "go" should be in the past participle form, which is "gone."

B Yes, I 2. have been. 3. I went to a few. My favorite is Jazz Cellar. 4. I have gone there hundreds of times. - In response to A's question, B uses the present perfect tense "have been" to talk about their past experience of going to a jazz club. B also uses the past simple tense "went" to talk about a specific past action. B further uses the present perfect tense "have gone" to emphasize the repeated nature of going to Jazz Cellar.

A Yes, I think 5. I have been there too. 6. I went there last year. - A uses the present perfect tense "have been" to talk about their past experience of going to the same jazz club. A also uses the past simple tense "went" to talk about a specific past action that happened last year.

B 7. Did you like it? - B uses the past simple tense "did" to form a question about A's opinion of the jazz club.

A Yes, I 8. did. 9. It was great. There 10. was a brilliant singer - her name 11. was Erica something. - A uses the past simple tense "did" to confirm their liking of the jazz club. A also uses the past simple tense "was" to describe the singer's name.

B Erica Sousa. 12. I have seen her a few times. She's amazing. In fact, 13. she played a concert there last week. - B uses the present perfect tense "have seen" to talk about their past experiences of seeing Erica Sousa. B also uses the past simple tense "played" to talk about a specific past action of Erica playing a concert.

A 14. Did you go to that concert? - A uses the past simple tense "did" to form a question about B's attendance at the concert.

B No, I 15. didn't. 16. I wanted to go but I had a meeting at work and 17. I finished late. - B uses the past simple tense "didn't" to indicate that they did not go to the concert. B also uses the past simple tense "wanted" to express a past desire, and the past simple tense "had" and "finished" to talk about past events at work.

In summary, the present perfect tense is used to talk about past experiences, while the past simple tense is used to talk about specific past actions.
