Jazz Is Cool Again... "where new voices find their stage"... is an opportunity for jazz musicians - pianists, vocalist, instrumentalists in the London & surrounding area. This is a space intended for newer or unseen 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 our fellow musicians . We look forward to a celebration of Jazz and an amazing showcase of local talent!
