Jazz On A Summer's Evening

Hosted by Jazz FM’s Nigel Williams, Jazz On A Summer’s Evening will take place at London’s Cadogan Hall on Saturday 5th June in front of a socially distanced audience. The event is now sold out, but luckily this very special show will also be streamed live around the world, mixing a perfect Summer cocktail of classic jazz from an eclectic array of artists including Tony Momrelle, Carroll Thompson, Paul Edis, Jo Harrop, Jamie McCredie, Tara Minton and Paul Lee.

After what has been an incredibly difficult year for musicians in the jazz community, all profits from live streaming ticket sales will go to the Hampstead Jazz Club musicians’ support fund.

Jazz FM will broadcast part the concert shortly after the event. You can listen in colour across the UK on your digital radio, smart speaker and on the app.
