We’re nearly there. 2012 is just around the corner, so that means there’s just three more Jazz Meet sessions until the end of the year. And what a year it’s been! Just under twelve months ago we kicked off a little jazz event in the heart of Shoreditch, and through monthly and now weekly stints, we’ve seen it grow into a fully fledged Sunday session (We’ll stop short of calling it an institution just yet!). We’ve had some great DJs and bands drop in over the course of 2011, with so many highlights. The Greg Foat Group dropping in to play a killer selection from his latest Jazzman LP, the birth and subsequent rise of our resident Latin band, Caractacus the Conqueror and the Afro Latin Ensemble (of London) and our charity event for MacMillan Cancer Support where we literally crammed in seven DJs, a band and the crowd! That’s not forgetting the epic Bank Holiday specials either. It’s been quite a ride.
For December, we’ve just the three live sessions. We welcome Huw72 back onto the decks on Sunday 4th, after his blistering DJ set last time (Cutting and scratching Blue Notes = Respect!) and on the 18th, we’ve got the BIG one. The Jazz Meet Band turns ONE!. Expect a collection of some of the finest musicians to have graced the stage this year, alongside a heavyweight DJ quartet of Nick Woodmansey of Emanative fame, Jake Holloway (BBE), Nik Weston (Mukatsuku Records) and Rob Coley. Plus a little Christmas VINYL stall for all those last minute gifts for your other half.
See below for the full details. We hope you can join us for at least one of the sessions, but if not, we’ll see you in 2012. Same time, same place!
