Camden’s Jazz Café, relaunched to considerable fanfare last year, is marking its first birthday with five days of celebrations.

From June 14 – 18, the Camden spot will prove its salt as one of London’s premier live music venues with an eclectic series of concerts, featuring everything from era-defining jazz to orchestral grime.

On Wednesday June 14, “93 ‘Til Infinity” hitmakers, hip hop group Souls of Mischief will kick things off, followed the next night with a performance from French fusion group Cortex, presented by record label Mr Bongo.

On June 16, Londoners will have the rare chance to see Malian blues as guitarist Vieux Farka Touré takes the stage. On the 17, legendary bassist and jazz pioneer Jaco Pastorious will be honoured in a show curated by Café regular, Henry Wu.

The final performance will see grime given the orchestral treatment from the Ruff Sqwad Orchestra.
