The Vortex Jazz Club, located in Dalston, London, has been a central hub for jazz music since its founding in 1982 by musician Eddie Lankester. Originally established as a response to limited opportunities for jazz musicians in the capital, The Vortex quickly gained a reputation for showcasing both established international artists and emerging UK talent. The venue is known for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to supporting innovative and experimental jazz. It moved to its current location on Church Street in 2005 after facing closure due to redevelopment. The club operates as a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of live jazz performance and education. It continues to host a diverse programme of events throughout the year.
