Shakti Jazz

A jazz concert by Shakti Jazz at Sauna Social Club in Peckham, south-east London. The evening presents the genre in live performance at a venue for concerts and shows.

Shakti Jazz is a jazz act performing live in London. This concert places its music in Peckham, south-east London, for listeners who want to hear jazz played in person.

Jazz developed in the United States from African American musical traditions in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and is built on improvisation and swing rhythms. Those are the qualities a listener can expect to recognise in the genre, whatever the particular act. Shakti Jazz's music is the focus of the evening, and the genre is the thread running through it.

Sauna Social Club, the venue for this evening, hosts concerts and shows in Peckham, so the night sits within the area's live music scene.
