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 />
