Monthly Jazz Jam Sessions at Inkwell

The Sunday Jazz Cafe at Inkwell is organised by the fabulous team at Seven Jazz.

Seven jazz is an independent jazz club in Chapel Allerton. Their aim is to promote high quality and accessible jazz and related musics promoting jazz events at two main venues: Seven Arts and Inkwell. The Sunday gigs we host at Inkwell are with the best and creative elements of the Leeds and Yorkshire Jazz scene. We are thrilled to be able to host 40-50 gigs per year. We are excited to announce more dates coming up in the New Year with the new monthly jazz jam session running on the third Sunday afternoon of every month.

A live jazz set played by the Sky High Jazz Trio also happens every last Saturday of the month at our Saturday Cafe. Entrance to this is completely free and our cafe serves lunches and home made cakes while you have the opportunity to wind down and relax on a Saturday afternoon.
