Jazz at Trades Festival Special
What it is
Walthamstow's premier jazz night featuring London and the UK's finest musicians presents an EFG London Jazz Festival special!
Reminiscing In Tempo is a new project featuring freewheeling reinterpretations of the music of Duke Ellington that has been put together specially for EFG London Jazz Festival by Jazz at Trades.
