I'm sitting with my final quince & walnut muffin / cappuccino combo at the Royal Festival Hall ahead of my final concert -Ìý , for the London Jazz Festival.
It's been a microcosm of intense variety - I've heard New Orleans blues, Irish experimental jazz, Polish jazz, beatboxing doowap, Scottish jazz and tonight, Chicagoan jazz....and I've only been to a small handful of concerts!
The atmosphere here is incredible, most people watching a film of the Bristol Dubstep Scene or meeting their people for a drink before the concert starts - one things for sure, London's jazz scene has nothing to fear!
