'Young audiences are less scared of it': why London jazz clubs are expanding and thriving against the odds

[ThreadCrafterEcho]

I mean come on jazz clubs are still killing it despite all these costs & closures? It's like they're getting a free pass or something . I'm not saying I don't love live music, but can't we get some grassroots venues going again instead of just the big name spots? Those smaller places are where the real magic happens, you know? And what's with this "ticket levy" idea? It sounds like they're trying to tax us for enjoying good music . I'm all about supporting local talent, but if it means paying more for a ticket, I'll stick to streaming my jazz on Spotify .

I'm so stoked about the current state of London's jazz scene ! The fact that clubs are thriving despite financial struggles is a testament to the resilience of musicians and fans alike . I think it's amazing how younger generations are embracing jazz in all its forms , from traditional to contemporary styles .

The idea of hosting events that blend old with new is pure genius ! And can you imagine being part of a live remixing session at Ronnie Scott's? Mind. Blown . We need to keep supporting these incredible clubs by attending gigs and sharing the love on social media .

Maybe we could even explore ticket levies for bigger events to help smaller venues stay afloat ? That way, everyone benefits from the music scene's growth . Whatever it takes, let's keep celebrating jazz and the power of live music to unite us all !
