London’s Jazz Cafe celebrates 25 years of live music!

2015 marks the 25^th Anniversary of one of London’s most legendary and iconic live music venues – The Jazz Cafe.

Famed for hosting household names such as Cameo, Grandmaster Flash, Bobby Womack, Lonnie Liston Smith, Linda Lewis, Jose Feliciano, Courtney Pine, Mica Paris and Omar, to name but a few during its current incarnation since opening its doors in 1990 after being bought by Mama & Company and reinvented as a musical shrine to pretty much all forms of music, from jazz to soul, dance, funk, hip-hop, blues and reggae – but it also welcomes crossover acts, world music, metal and anything else which promises to rock the house.

Head of Programming for The Jazz Cafe, John Tunley, said:  “Quarter of a century is such a momentous milestone to be celebrating particularly with the changes taking place in the live music scene. We feel very fortunate to still be open to the live music appreciating public with so many other landmark venues and locations closing down. It is indeed the upmost pleasure to be part of the team behind the venue and the decision making process of which artists to host here. Often we are spoilt for choice. We are all looking forward to the year ahead and have a superb line-up of special acts which we feel best reflect our rich history as one of London’s most loved live music venues.”

Music legends of the past have all performed here with up-and-comers from the Jazz and Soul world flocking to the venue recognizing it for the musical mecca it is and appreciating it for the career launch pad to becoming the next big thing.

Throughout 2015 The Jazz Cafe will be hosting a series of gigs with performances from heritage acts such as; Roy Ayers, Alexander O’Neal, Maxi Priest, Jazz Jamaica, T’Pau, Shakatak to DJ Jazzy Jeff, London Community Gospel Choir, The Herbaliser to showcasing future legends like Mamas Gun, Jarrod Lawson, Myles Sanko and Alice Russell.
