Norwich Jazz Club are excited to feature jazz fusion quartet Just East of Jazz as part of a spring / summer tour that includes shows at London’s 606 club and Dean Street’s Pizza Express.
Formed in the early 90s they gained a reputation as one of the first and best groups to explore the connections between jazz and klezmer, but quickly developed a sound and approach all their own and taking in a much wider range of influences over time.
The band has a uniquely off-beam take on contemporary music, incorporating world, folk, prog and classical influences in their impressionistic style. Composition and improvisation are seamlessly linked - an approach that has led to favourable comparisons with fusion pioneers Weather Report and prog rock innovators Gong.
Doors 6pm / Music from 7.30pm-10pm
