I saw them play on Thursday.  I'd say it's worth venturing out if
you're a jazz fan or a bass player.

I can now confirm this is at The Pizzaexpress Jazz Club, 10 Dean Street, Soho,
London W1 - Reservations: 020 7439 8722 (the new listings arrived this
morning!).

Of course, this being the evening the tube strike starts, getting there and

Ummm not any more :-)

23 Bruton Place and 99 High Holborn both do jazz now.

Unfortunately the listing I have only covers March and April so I can't check
which one they are at.

Now somewhere we have complimentary tickets to the Jazz Club (one perk of
membership of their club), maybe this would be a good time to use them.

By a process of elimination - Dean St, cos they don't have live music at
