George Double — renowned drummer, stalwart of the British jazz scene, and curator of the popular Frinton, Hadleigh, and Southwold Jazz Clubs — has kindly shared with us a list of jazz venues and events that are (reasonably) close by.

As a generous supporter of the local jazz community — and all-round lovely guy — George’s insights are a real gift for East Anglia jazz enthusiasts. I’ve gathered his recommendations on this page so that fellow fans can stay informed and inspired.
