Birmingham Jazz is a promoting organisation which presents contemporary jazz in the city on a year-round basis.
Birmingham Jazz promotes up to 110 events a year in various venues around the city. There are three strands, the concert series, the club series and the Friday night Rush Hour Blues sessions at Symphony Hall. These include 30 to 35 concerts at various concert halls, or arts centres, specifically the CBSO Centre (capacity 300), the Adrian Boult Hall (capacity 500) and The Glee Club (capacity 400) and the Recital hall at Birmingham Conservatoire (140 capacity).
As well as the concert series, Birmingham Jazz also believes strongly in presenting jazz in club venues, notably the Rainbow Pub, The Hare & Hounds in Kings Heath, The Jam House and the Yardbird Jazz Club where we programme bands that appeal to a largely young audience.
Gigs are put on at the Rainbow Pub on the last Wednesday of the month under the name Jazz Club and at the Jam House on the third Tuesday of the month; at the Yardbird Jazz Club Birmingham Jazz co-promotes withe Cobweb Collective an occasional Thursday session and with the Yardbird Club an occasional Saturday session.
In June 2008 Birmingham Jazz participated in the BASS Festival presenting Eska & Jazzanova at the Boiler Room. Birmingham Jazz also runs with Symphony Hall the very popular Rush Hour Blues commuter jazz sessions every Friday in the Level 3 Bar from 5.30 to 7pm.
Birmingham Jazz believes strongly in the development of contemporary jazz and new work. It takes a broad definition of 'jazz' and is interested in collaborative projects that draw on other musics.

QUASIMODO TRIO
Quasimodo Trío presenta su segundo disco “Ámsterdam”, grabado en Holanda durante la gira en octubre de 2007. Este trío formado por músicos de una nueva generación del tango y de amplia trayectoria, tiene entre sus objetivos mostrar nuevas composiciones y ampliar el lenguaje de la música ciudadana. Presentan composiciones propias con una orientación sonora y compositiva totalmente nueva dentro de este género. En Octubre del 2007 realizaron su primera gira por Holanda y Bélgica, donde grabaron “Amsterdam” con la participación del Cuarteto Recopado, y el baterista Marcos Baggiani como invitados. Europa volvió a recibirlos en 2008 durante una serie de conciertos a sala llena en ciudades como Amsterdam, La Haya y Rotterdam y Koeln.
