Check out the Vortex Jazz Club’s New Spotify Playlist here!
We are currently living in unprecedented times, and in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, The Vortex Jazz Club had to close its doors to the public on the 17th March. During this challenging period, the power of music to bring people together is needed more than ever. For us, our inability to present live concerts has meant we have had to adapt to keep bringing you the best jazz and improvised music.
To make sure we can keep broadcasting performances, we need your help. If you’re in a position to support us, then please consider making a donation via our paypal.
Your donations will play a vital role in keeping music alive across the world. As venues shut globally and with your support, our club will be part of a new movement; bringing you inspiring content, connecting you with the work of amazing musicians, and keeping The Vortex community going strong.
