Description
Parlour Jazz returns for the new year with some new sounds, and another trio of cool cats to croon away the dark evenings. Expect an evening of jazzy tunes with a characteristically Lynrace groove.
Join us for an intimate live jazz experience hosted in The Parlour, Lynrace Spirit, led by local Jazz Saxophone wizard Ollie Weston. Our doors will open at 7pm, when you’ll enjoy a welcome glass of Prosecco or Lynrace Negroni, before descending to the Parlour. The bar will be open during the entire evening for you to savour our bespoke cocktails. There will be a break to recharge your glasses, engage with the musicians, and take in the atmosphere.
Lynrace Spirit is a unique cocktail bar in Jericho. Our ethos is founded upon forging connections and inspiring creativity, making it a natural home for live jazz. We will be welcoming a variety of jazz musicians over the coming months who will present yet further variety in jazz styles in our distinct and exclusive setting. We look forward to welcoming you.
