JAZZ CAFE ANNOUNCES AUTUMN–WINTER 2025 SEASON WITH GLOBAL ICONS AND FUTURE SOUNDMAKERS

By Rishma • On Events

The icon­ic Lon­don insti­tu­tion con­tin­ues its leg­acy with an unmiss­able sea­son of bound­ary-push­ing live music across Soul, Jazz, Afrobeat, RnB, Elec­tron­ic and beyond

From Ghanai­an song­stress Gyakie to techno legend Jeff Mills, Jazz Café’s latest sea­son cel­eb­rates pion­eers and next-gen­er­a­tion talents

2025 marks anoth­er mile­stone for Jazz Café. Fol­low­ing a standout sum­mer and the con­tin­ued suc­cess of Jazz Café Fest­iv­al, Camden’s beloved grass­roots ven­ue now reveals a for­ward-think­ing and glob­al lineup for the colder months. This autumn-winter, the stage will be graced by inter­na­tion­ally renowned names and the scene’s bright­est emer­ging artists.

A vis­ion­ary in the world of elec­tron­ic music, Jeff Mills’ latest pro­ject Tomor­row Comes The Har­vest arrives at the intim­ate ven­ue on the 20th Septem­ber for what prom­ises to be a land­mark moment with­in elec­tron­ic music and con­tem­por­ary jazz. Con­ceived between the Detroit techno God­fath­er and pion­eer­ing Afrobeat drum­mer Tony Allen in 2020, the pro­ject shares a music­al philo­sophy that centres around explor­ing the unknown and reach­ing high­er levels of consciousness. 

One of Ghana’s bright­est exports, Gyakie, brings her soul­ful blend of Afrobeats and RnB on the 27th Septem­ber. One of Ghana’s best loved female artists, she has one of the most seduct­ive, silky voices in Afrobeats. On the 13th Octo­ber, Jazz Café wel­comes Pro­gress­ive kwn, an R&B artist and East Lon­don nat­ive known for com­bin­ing can­did lyr­i­cism and heart­felt vocal per­form­ances with sinu­ous pro­duc­tions. LTJ Bukem, a pion­eer­ing force in drum and bass, head­lines a high-energy set on the 10th Octo­ber, show­cas­ing deep liquid, jungle and everything in between. 

Rep­res­ent­ing a new gen­er­a­tion of Brazili­an voices, Mari Froes makes her UK debut on 7th Novem­ber, weav­ing bossa nova, samba, and jazz with effort­less sens­it­iv­ity and charm. A standout voice in con­tem­por­ary fla­menco, on 24th Novem­ber, Span­ish vocal­ist María José Llergo takes the stage with her emo­tion­ally charged blend of fla­menco, soul, and elec­tron­ic textures. 

Acclaimed Ber­lin-based trio Moses Yoofee Trio, known for their genre-span­ning sound that fuses jazz, neo-soul, and hip-hop, appear on 1st Novem­ber, show­cas­ing why they’re one of Europe’s most talked-about jazz out­fits. Glaswe­gi­an DJ duo Optimo return to Jazz Café for a very spe­cial All Night Long set on 26th Septem­ber — prom­ising an expans­ive jour­ney through left­field disco, post-punk, techno, and beyond.

An autumn res­id­ency, The Com­pozers bring their explos­ive live show to Cam­den on the 18th Septem­ber and 16th of Octo­ber. Known for their show-stop­ping rein­ter­pret­a­tions of clas­sic and con­tem­por­ary tunes, the Lon­don-based col­lect­ive con­tin­ues to raise the bar for live instru­ment­al music.

Head into Autumn along­side the most diverse and tal­en­ted lineup yet at London’s intim­ate cul­tur­al hot­spot. Rel­ish in the sounds of glob­al pion­eers and dis­cov­er new music from the future of RnB, Hip Hop, to Elec­tron­ic and World music.
