London's Jazz Cafe celebrates 25 years of dedicated service to live music
The Jazz Cafe is considered the city's most loved and intimate live music venue, and is celebrating 25 years of live music throughout 2015. Acts already confirmed to perform at the venue this year reads like a who’s who in music.
John Tunley, Head of Programming for the venue, said: “25 Years of live music is definitely something to celebrate! We’re curating a year-long programme of performances ranging from heritage artists to ground breaking new bands and acts. We love putting on gigs for punters that like to see music in a live setting. We’re one of the best small music venues in London and we’re very proud of that. With so many great acts coming through our doors, The Jazz Cafe for many people is the place where they first saw their favourite artist or band.”
Every hot new band passes through the doors on their way to the top. Household and chart topping names that made their virgin outings to the live music scene at The Jazz Cafe include: Adele, Bonobo, Candi Staton, Kwabs, Lucy Rose, Lana Del Ray, Morcheeba, The Beta Band, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Rita Ora, Faithless, and the "Godfather of Rocksteady" Alton Ellis. Entertaining tight crowds since 1990 it has been the stage for home-grown talent such as Omar, Courtney Pine and Mica Paris. Often described as a "rite of passage" venue, it’s clear that The Jazz Cafe’s sentimental value runs deep for a lot of acts. After all, this is the place where D'Angelo famously recorded his now hard to come by Live At The Jazz Cafe, and touring stalwarts like Barrence Whitfield and The Clones, The Blockheads, Roy Ayers, and Lonnie Liston Smith have all graced its stage.
