Sarra from London

I was born and raised in Greece before moving to London in 2004. What was meant to be a temporary adventure turned into nearly 20 years of calling one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals my home.

91 Living Room London

Midweek Jazz Nights

"On Thursdays, Jazz re:freshed transforms Ninety One Living Room on Brick Lane into a vibrant hub of live, boundary-pushing jazz. Start here to feel London."

If you find yourself around Brick Lane on a Thursday evening, there is an event well worth checking out. Jazz re:freshed takes over the stage at Ninety One Living Room, transforming the space into a thriving hub for live jazz that is pushing the boundaries of contemporary sound.

What makes these Thursday residencies special is their broad musical scope. Lineups typically blend established names with rising talent, spanning genres from bebop, Afro-jazz, Latin jazz, neo-soul, jazz-fusion, to jazz-influenced electronic sounds. Doors open at 8 pm, with acts typically starting around 9 pm, leaving plenty of time to enjoy a cocktail and socialise at the venue's intimate courtyard. 

The crowd often includes a mix of local jazz lovers, musicians, and curious first-timers. These Thursday nights offer more than concerts. They are a gathering point for London’s jazz community. Whether you are deeply into jazz or simply after a great night out exploring new sounds, Jazz re:freshed at Ninety One Living Room promises a midweek journey of sonic experimentation not to be missed.
