Welcome to Jazz Re:Freshed...

All aspects of jazz are covered - jazz fusion, future jazz, be bop, hip hop jazz, avante garde, latin jazz, jazz rock, afro jazz, acid jazz, soul jazz & jazz funk. This night intends to bring weekly live virtuoso performances from the best established jazz artists to the hottest up and coming jazz musicians in the UK, add to that, impressive visuals and original artwork created and inspired by jazz music. To keep things fresh, Jazz Re:Freshed resident deejays and guests spin from the roots to the cutting edge.

EVERY THURSDAY

'Uprock' aim’s to shatter the common misconceptions about what jazz music is, who’s making it and who it’s for... hence the conception of Jazz Re:freshed. Most people tend to accept the definitions given to them by the media or popular press which defines jazz music as an easy listening, stuck in the past music form, only listened to by middle-aged white people.



Borne out of oppression, revolution and a need to express the black experience, Jazz has always been the most progressive boundary pushing and relevant black music artform, cutting paths for all popular black music forms. Jazz Re:freshed as a black music movement, intends to challenge the elitism and prejudice within the jazz community which has kept jazz on the sidelines, and bring the incredibly diverse creative world that is jazz, to the people.



From dance oriented to jazz to various cultural interpretations eg. Latin jazz, Japanese jazz, Afro jazz, Hip hop Jazz etc. – all expressions of jazz music are represented.
Presently, the Jazz Re:freshed weekly live sessions are charged at the lowest rate possible (with all money made on the door going to the the artist(s) - no profit for us!!!), even though the calibre of performers would justifiably demand a premium door tax when playing the like’s of Barbican or Jazz Cafe.



It is important to have a mix of well established musicians and up and coming talent, with the only criteria being the quality they bring to the night. The strength of Jazz Re:freshed is in the support and the enthusiasm of the musicians and performers. The audience get an opportunity to be up close and personal with the performers, conversing and mingling with them after the show - no green room, no hiding away. Musicians enjoy playing Jazz Re:freshed because of the intimacy of the venue and the appreciation and passionate support of the audience – music is centre stage, no pretensions, no illusions.

When all is said and done, Jazz Refreshed exists simply and wholly for the music…and isn’t that what really counts.






Here are some images of the Jazz Re:freshed faithful - maybe you're in there somewhere! (You can see the full selection in the 'pics' section - continuously updated)

JAZZ ON THE ROAD

Inspired by Jack Kerouac's famous novel "On the Road" - portraying American youth who had lost their purpose of life in this wealthy material world, and the system of society.
They attempt to reach a new dimension of life throughout their journey, exploring its joy and sadness, love and jealous, using every possible ways - music, dance, poetry, ideology, philosophy and more - to capture its spiritual and physical rhythms…
