Live at the Jazz Bar: 10th Anniversary Double Album
Edinburgh’s famous Jazz Bar celebrated its 10th Birthday in 2015 by recording live a whole week’s gigs - totalling 23 bands - to produce this commemorative double album. In spite of the venue’s name, the 7-nights-a-week, year-round programme has gradually evolved over the years into a mix of around one third ‘Jazz’, one third Acoustic/Roots/Blues, and one third Funk. The tracks on these CDs reflects this multi-genre music policy, CD1 containing 10 Jazz tracks, and CD2 with 7 Acoustic and 7 Funk tracks. These were all recorded live in the venue over seven consecutive days in September 2015 (which was just a ‘typical’ Jazz Bar week!), the package also containing a comprehensive 20-page booklet describing the venue’s history, achievements, awards and music development, plus photos and details of the 24 bands – all of whom are regular performers in the venue. The music ranges from the Jazz Bar 17-piece Big Band through Jazz Duos, Trios and Quintets, Acoustic solo Singer/Songwriters, 4 to 7 piece Blues/Funk bands with horn sections, right up to the 25-piece ‘Tinderbox’ Youth Orchestra. This is an amazing record of a unique venue that has become a major player on the Scottish, UK and International music scene.
