All that jazz<br />

Good times...<br />

great jazz<br />

Or why not come to our<br />

R'n'B All-Stars Night featuring<br />

members of the Jools Holland<br />

R'n'B Orchestra? Then there's<br />

our our Jazz Big Band Night or<br />

our Liane Carrol Night.<br />

We also introduce new<br />

young players and bring in<br />

contemporary players who are<br />

shaking things up a bit.<br />

We want to have musical<br />

integrity and diversity and not<br />

just play it safe.<br />

Where are you based?<br />

Our current venue is the best<br />

we have had. We are based<br />

upstairs in Leytonstone and<br />

District Ex-Servicemen's Club<br />

– behind the Red Lion on<br />

Leytonstone High Road.<br />

LoveEast talks to drummer Clive<br />

Fenner about The East Side Jazz Club<br />

Tell us about the club...<br />

We‘ve been going for over<br />

20 years and are open every<br />

Tuesday night.<br />

We get between 60 and 120<br />

people each time. They have<br />

a good pint or a glass of wine<br />

while listening to some fantastic<br />

music.<br />

As one supporter commented,<br />

"As a club, you offer pretty<br />

much all anyone could ask for.<br />

Great and varied music, friendly<br />

patrons and reasonably priced<br />

beers and spirits. Well worth<br />

the treck over from Camberwell.<br />

Keep up the good work guys!"<br />

What if you’re not into jazz that<br />

much?<br />

Its always hard to explain to<br />

people who are not into jazz<br />

just how good our concerts<br />

are but our performers have<br />

played with Jamie Cullum, Van<br />

Morrison, Jools Holland and<br />

Sting.<br />

They’ve sold out Carnegie Hall,<br />

they’ve backed Eric Clapton one<br />

night and played at the club the<br />

next.<br />

But if jazz really isn't your thing,<br />

you’ll be very welcome at our<br />

Cuban music night with maestro<br />

violinist Omar Puente.<br />

There are always at least two<br />

real ales on pump, and the<br />

bar staff are friendly and the<br />

beer, wine and spirits are very<br />

reasonably priced.<br />

So what's your message to<br />

people who haven't visited<br />

before?<br />

Give it a go! You don’t get many<br />

opportunities to hear live music<br />

of this quality in a small, friendly<br />

club setting and it's just up the<br />

road and at a quarter of the<br />

price of Ronnie Scott's.<br />

We look forward to seeing you<br />

there!<br />

The East Side Jazz Club,<br />

Leytonstone & District Ex-<br />

Servicemen's Club, 2 Harvey Road,<br />

E11 3DB.<br />

Tuesdays, 8.30pm. Tickets on the<br />

door from £6 to £8.<br />
