The Parliamentary Jazz Awards are alive and well – they’ve just moved house. The traditional bun fight on the terrace at the Houses of Parliament is not going to happen this year, instead the great and the good of British jazz will be at the new Pizza Express in Holborn, which is where the awards will be announced on Tuesday 10 October.
