“Never happier than last Saturday night in the remarkable 606 Club in Chelsea. …On stage the musicianship is off the scale.” (The Guardian). “The 606 Club is a club just the way we like it. A narrow staircase, wooden tables spaced far apart, a room where you can see and hear what you see.… everyone is happy” (Le Monde)
The 606 Club has announced its programme for the period of the EFG London Jazz Festival. The full listing is below, but stand-out events include a new project from singer Vimala Rowe, a special celebration of the British jazz great Peter King, and, on the final night of the festival – this is a 606 tradition in itself – the opportunity to spend it with one of the great irrepleaceable wonders of British jazz, Liane Carroll. Plus a chance to celebrate the return to the UK of Gwilym Simcock,
