The Jazz Cafe, located in Camden Town, London, has been a prominent venue for both established and emerging jazz, soul, and world music artists since its establishment in 1990. Originally conceived as a live music venue with a restaurant attached – inspired by the Harlem jazz clubs of the 1920s and 30s – it quickly became renowned for its intimate atmosphere and high-quality sound system. Throughout its history, the venue has hosted numerous internationally acclaimed musicians across diverse genres while maintaining a consistent focus on live performance. It is known for its art deco interior and dedicated audience base. The venue underwent significant refurbishment in 2003 following a fire but retained its core character.
