Jazz East Presents - JAZZ AFRICA - From Roots to Right Now

Event information

We created Jazz Africa with this amazing band to showcase the true roots of this ever popular and rather cool music called jazz.

Jazz heritage goes back way beyond New Orleans, spreads across continents and oceans and over the years has evolved into some of the most evocative, inclusive yet diverse and innovative of all popular music.

Expect some familiar tunes, some audience participation and even the urge to dance (you can!...we are at Sadler’s Wells after all!) but beyond anything else, expect an evening of phenomenal live music brought to you by the incredible Basil Hodge Quintet.

We promise this is not “Scary Jazz”!

This is jazz for ALL the family. For young and for old. For those that have never seen jazz before. And for those who love an innovative, inspirational and exciting artform that’s quite frankly different every time its performed.

And what an exciting venue!

Park Bar & Kitchen are East London's exciting new restaurant and bar inside the very cool and easily accessible new Sadler's Wells East on the edge of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park !

Exciting live jazz in an exciting venue in this very exciting part of East London...join us and let’s see where this takes us!
