Our first show sold out in 10 days, so we have added an extra date:
Friday 17th July - Jazz In The City: A Summer’s Evening.
The Band will be performing live on stage in Norwich July 17th.
This July, lead vocalist Polly Gibbons along with acclaimed pianist and Ronnie Scott's artistic director, James Pearson headline Jazz In The City: A Summer’s Evening, as part of our Summer Jazz series with a 7-piece band made up of the UK’s finest jazz musicians.
Our second date is expected to sell out just as quickly, we’ll be creating a relaxed, festival-style atmosphere from 6pm-10:00pm (headline set starting at 7:30), bringing together incredible live music, soul DJs, standout street food and craft drinks, all culminating in an evening headline performance!
Throughout the evening, expect a carefully curated line-up of exciting local and UK-wide jazz artists, setting the tone for the evening! As the sun goes down, watch as world class jazz musicians take to the stage, delivering world-class live jazz direct to Norwich.
Critically acclaimed vocalist Polly Gibbons has been described as:

Critically acclaimed pianist and Artistic Director of Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, James Pearson, has been described as:
“The harmony of Messiaen mixed with the rhythmic pulse of George Shearing.”
