After a successful year at The Shoreditch cocktail bar, we are very excited that The Jazz Meet collective is embarking on a new Sunday weekly residency at Floripa

In its current incarnation, this weekly live jazz event has proved popular with DJs, musicians and the general public alike and with this move to Floripa the event is sure to develop even further. Starting March 18th 2012, and twice a month thereafter, the Jazz Meet House Band (hosted by Jake Telford (OK-MA) on sax and Jessica Lauren (Freestyle Records) on keys and featuring a rotating cast of London’s brightest session musicians) will again be taking the stage to provide the centrepiece of the night’s live music segment and to supply their own unique brand of live soul jazz. Bi-monthly, on alternate Sundays, the collective welcome some of London’s finest established and up and coming jazz acts onto the stage to highlight the burgeoning talent that exists on London’s underground music scene. Already lined up for the first quarter of guests are Jazzman Records’ newest signing, The Greg Foat Group on March 25th, The Al Scott Trio on April 22nd and Swedish jazz artist Cecilia Stalin on May 6th.

Supporting the bands each and every week will be the resident DJ team of Nik Weston (Mukatsuku Records), Rob Coley (Soul-Identity Music), Sid Ford, Jarred Rice and occasional guest DJs, who will all be dipping into their own collections of vintage vinyl and contemporary modern jazz music to bring you a mix of chilled jazz to relax to and, later on in the evening, dance floor orientated grooves on a jazzy tip.

The event will run from 5pm-12am every Sunday, and each week our head chef Dave Yorkston will be overseeing the creation of a perfect yet alternative Sunday Roast featuring a choice of Picanha (The best Brazilian Beef money can buy!), Free Range Roast Chicken or Vegetarian Nut Roast – and accompanied by a number of tantalising sides including Roasted Sweet Potato, Pao De Queijo Yorkshire Pudding, Corn on the Cob, Seasonal Vegetables and of course The Girl From Ipanema Gravy.

Sunday’s in East London are the new Saturday. Team a visit to the famous Columbia Road flower market, maybe a quick look around Spitalfields, Brick Lane and the secret boutique finds on Redchurch Street – rounded off nicely with good bottle of wine (or a few tasty cocktails!), a Brazilian roast and the finest live jazz this side of the Atlantic. Now doesn’t that sound like a good way to end your week?
