Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Joe Zawinul, Rickie Lee Jones et al

Though it long veered away from jazz as we know it, London’s Jazz Café is a must-check grown-up music venue. The tiny stand-up (or dine on the small balcony) venue in Camden is the perfect place to see favoured musicians strutting their stuff.

The new programme, received today, has a richly eclectic list of acts, new and old, notably:

· Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry
· Joe Zawinul
· Rickie Lee Jones
· Acoustic Alchemy
· The Zombies
· Bo Diddley
· Easy Star All Stars
· Roy Ayers…

Deeply impressive. If you’re planning to visit London, it’s always worth checking out who’s on at this fine venue:
