It IS business as usual for us @ Blu Jaz – so for those not paying inflated air ticket prices and so forth, drop in and sit for a spell, or two. Given that it’s a short work week for most – we start our partying a little later..

Music – 1920s – 1940s – bring top hat and tasseled dress. 8:30pm onwards @ Cafe

FRIDAY
It’s another awesome set from the Greg Lyons’ Quartet and as the name suggests – it’s Greg and friends with Greg showing off his mastery of the instruments that make girls go ooh – the saxaphone. or not. Whatever instruments you favor, you’d be guarantee of jazz to bob, sway, tap to. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe

And of course – no party is completed without GOOD TIMES - our last Friday of the month party where they spin great funk, soul and whatever tracks which will enable you to bust your signature moves on the dance floor. 9:30pm onwards

Now, no excuses, kiddies! Jitterbugs present the most enthusiastic dancers to the floor and they’re warm and friendly – they don’t bite.

And if you are not feeling that tame, climb on up where Pushin’ On holds their last do every last Friday of the month with groovy tunes – the kind that takes 70s inspiration but mixed in with breaks, beats and scratching of the modern day ghetto music interpretation. 9:30pm onwards @ Lounge

8th March – 13th March

I’ve always found the word, swarmy, fascinating. The fact that it does not exist makes it more so. However, one has the freedom of coining words while out of the serious literary context. And this week seems to tell of swarmy weather – and in which case, we recommend a glass of iced cool tea – with a punch, if you will.

WEDNESDAY
Well, the boys (and sometimes gals) come around every week for a practice so that Grooveworks sound all groovy. Jazz in its most accessible – 9pm onwards @ Cafe.
