Well, we have to say that 2012 has been an AMAZING year for us all at The Jazz Meet. On a collective level, we moved the event to the beautiful confines of Floripa in Shoreditch which helped take our little weekly jazz event to the next level (a special shout out to these guys for being super supportive). Over the past twelve months, we’ve also been blessed to have welcomed so many great musicians, vocalists and DJs on to the stage and we hope more will follow when we get back into the swing of things come Sunday 13th January 2013.
In the meantime though we’ve got ONE last party before we bow out for the festive period which takes place Sunday 16th December. Having relaunched the new event a week before Christmas in 2010, it’s our BIG 2nd birthday and we’re planning something real nice for you all.
We’re hooking up the house band for one more session on the night. Jake, Jessica and Jason have pretty much been holding it down all year on the live front and for these special sets we welcome both guitarist Kim Murray and drummer Tansay Omar back into the fold. As both played at the very first event two years ago, it was a simple decision and on hand we’ll also have a few other special guests popping in over the two live sets. On the decks throughout the night, we’ll have DJ sets from three of the four Jazz Meet residents (namely Rob, Sid and Jarred) as well as a fitting guest set from one of our favorite people, Mr Dom Servini, DJ and label boss of the mighty Wah Wah 45s imprint and the man who originally kicked off this little jazz gig with the band all those years ago in Islington.
There will be a few more festive treats to look out for on the night as well as a specially-themed film from 3.30pm on the day.
We hope you can join us for what promises to be another great night of music and fun and nonetheless THANK YOU all for your continued support over the past two years.
