Jazz Is Cool Again... "where new voices find their stage"... 
An opportunity for jazz musicians - pianists, vocalist, instrumentalists in the London & surrounding area.
This is a space intended for newer, unseen or established musicians who don't necessarily have the opportunity to showcase, to be seen and heard, as soloists...
Here's how it works... for performing artists only...
- Artists must submit here for the potential opportunity to perform, in advance!
- Given the submission process, musicians will need to commit in advance, rather than simply show up!
- Every Thursday at La Casa Ristorante
- 8:00p.m. - 10:00p.m. (on site & set up by 7:30)
- 3-5 musicians (including house pianist) each evening will have the chance to perform and showcase their talents to a live audience, gaining exposure and experience.
- 20/25 minute set
- Piano accompaniment available - must submit charts. If you're a pianist you can use the house keyboard for your set.
- Opportunity for collaboration with other musicians throughout the evening.
- Complimentary meal from the special "Jazz Is..." menu - (order must be placed before 9:30p.m.)
- Complimentary beverage - One (1) (*pop/liquor/beer)
- Complimentary coupons to invite three (3) guests with a *beverage (limit ONE (1) per guest)

This evening is open to the public so invite lots of people to come out and support you and our fellow musicians .
We look forward to a celebration of Jazz and an amazing showcase of local talent!
