About this event
Finish work and unwind with some world beating live music from Manchester’s best jazz musicians. Beat the Jams live series showcases the very best of the jazz scene, for short rush hour gigs at the iconic Band on the Wall. What better way to avoid those endless queues, chaotic traffic and stressful homeward journeys? Clock off and skip the rush-hour traffic while you watch live jazz and make the most of our happy hour deals from 5–7pm. Enjoy pizza and a house pint for less than £10! This October, Leeds based saxophonist and composer Anna joins us again for Beat the Jams, this time with her own band. Anna’s thoughtful and inventive compositions are firm favourites of us at Beat the Jams and her quartet promises to be a unique rush hour busting treat! In this new collaborative project, four improvisers come together to explore original material. Drawing on a shared love of free form spontaneous composition and intricately arranged, technically demanding pieces, the ensemble presents a wide range of moods, textures and dynamics; Meaning each show unfolds with its own character, freshness, and sense of discovery.
