Love Is Everywhere #9: Tina Edwards // Paul Murphy // Masumi Endo // Foot Notes

The ninth edition of Tina Edwards’ jazz dancefloor party welcomes a pioneering legend of jazz dance. Expect uncompromising percussion, high tempo break-downs and lucious horns, all at the hands of Jazz Room Records head-honcho Paul Murphy. A huge inspiration for a young Giles Peterson, Murphy’s impact on club culture in the UK cannot be underestimated.

Since his London residencies in the ‘70s and ‘80s, he’s brought jazz into club spaces—and was one of the first to do so.

As always, the night will open with a free entry, beginner friendly jazz dancefloor lesson from one of the world’s most admired dancers in the scene, Masumi Endo. Dance collective The Footnotes will return to the party of their founding to perform right before the headline set.

The Love Is Everywhere experience orbits jazz, expanding into Latin and Brazilian rhythms, jazz-disco and broken beat. The first set from Tina Edwards leans hard into the jazz dance spirit, with her second set taking on more of a four to the floor flavour.
