London’s 606 Jazz Club re-opens today for the first time in five months.
Operating with social distancing restrictions, there’s a chance to see the multi-award-winning guitar legend Jim Mullen with his trio tonight, then across the weekend shows from Mornington Lockett, Dave Lewis and Barb Jungr.
The 606 Club has existed as a Jazz Club Restaurant for more than 40 years, being run by musician Steve Rubie since 1976.
Originally a small 30 seater basement venue at 606 Kings Road, the club built up a solid reputation through the 1970’s and 1980’s amongst musicians and audiences as one of the prime Jazz hang-outs. The popularity of the Club amongst musicians led to the policy of only booking British based musicians in order to support the local scene, which has continued unchanged to this day. Eventually the Club outgrew its capacity and in May 1988 it moved to its present basement site at 90 Lots Road in Chelsea.
