Sounds Like London: UK Jazz Dance Special w/ Tim Garcia

A UK jazz dance night at Ninety One on Brick Lane, with a line-up of London DJs, forming part of the weekly Sounds Like London series on Saturdays. Ninety One hosts concerts and shows in London.

Sounds Like London is a weekly Saturday night at Ninety One on Brick Lane, and this special edition focuses on UK jazz dance. The series takes its inspiration from the Sunday night at Dingwalls run by Giles Peterson and Patrick Forge, and sets out to present the many jazz styles that have blended together in the UK over several decades, played by DJs who know the sound closely.

Tim Garcia, a North London DJ and curator, covers jazz across the world and across the years. Their sets bring in broken beat and house, keep the bass prominent, and open up jazz dance in new directions.

Candice a.m. is an emerging DJ who looks for hidden gems in jazz, drawing on broken beat, house and the UK funky scene. Ben OA Sayer, the presenter of the Jazz Music is Dance Music radio show, opens the night with a set built on plenty of rhythm.
