Hotfoot back from Germany. Half an hour ago. I already have three gigs on the list recommended for tonight:

There’s already the early evening supergroup led by Martin Speake in the National Theatre foyer…and Gary Crosby and friends at the Green Man….and The Necks at the Union Chapel in Islington.

But what about these in my inbox

Gilad Atzmon (saxophone) and Oren Marshall (tuba) and the Gareth Lockrane Big Band at The Others, 6 and 8 Manor Road London N16 5SA

And James Maddren – he’s the drummer in Gwilym Simcock’s trio- has texted me that his “final recital” as a Royal Academy student is tonight at 8pm at the 606 Club.

Both thoroughly recommended!

With the BFI also launchig their “Jazz and Film” weekend at Ronnie’s tonight, London is definitely the place to be back.
