Vinyl Listening Session // Spiritual Jazz

Doors open 30' before start time

 In the 1960’s jazz was exploding. Artists like John Coltrane were amassing a devoted following playing free, avant-garde music and as American musicians started looking west, collaborations with artists from various African and Asian countries brought about a new way of making music, rooted in the use of music as a spiritual practice. The past 10 years have seen a revival of spiritual jazz with artists like Ganavya and Shabaka Hutchings breathing new life into the genre. 

Mark is one half of Greenhouse Records and host of The Pickle Community Radio. Their passion for music and its connections with culture and people has led them down many a rabbit hole, picking up songs and stories from around the world.

With a new theme each month, the listening sessions will focus on music that is not only beautiful to listen to but that also tells a story about the time and place in which it was made. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the music!

Pianodrome Bruntsfield is at The St.Oswald's Center at 41 Montpelier Park, Bruntsfield, Edinburgh EH10 4NB, just parallel to the main street and next to the primary school. It has an accessible entrance and an accessible toilet. Please get in touch if there is anything else you'd like to ask or tell us prior to your visit.

The Pianodrome is based in a 130 year old ex church building, and currently the space is unheated, so please remember to wrap up warm.
