East Side seems to get it right: at this marvellous venue - which supplies a Yamaha upright, house drums and PA - they are building a wide-ranging audience by booking real jazz bands. And they pay real fees, by the way, with extra if you do really well. Long may it continue!
Emma Rawicz was presenting material from Chroma, her recent major jazz label album, but at this two-set East Side gig, she rearranged her compositions for a fast-thinking interactive quartet.
This place is like a Hogarth print!
