There are plenty of places to play in London, it's just a matter of meeting the right people... > I've read that there's a killer "jazz" scene here... but also don't know > where any of this stuff is. Does this encompass also experimental music? > After all, wasn't Miles thought by some as the same, and "not jazz"? There is a bit of an experimental scene - the Vortex in Stoke Newington has some really cool gigs on, as do some of the bigger venues, and there's the London Musicians Collective, or something like that, who organise a lot of stuff that I've not yet managed to get to... Spitz in Spittalfields is another good venue for weird shit... and then there's my gig on Friday... :o) Let me know if you're playing...
