NB Gigs at the North Devon Jazz Club are almost always on Mondays, starting at 8.30 unless otherwise stated. They take place at the Beaver Inn in Appledore. Entrance is free but there's a collection (please don't be mean - it helps pay the band). For more information, see the dedicated NDJC page.
Coming up at North Devon Jazz Club in 2023: 3 April Global Wave
Globe trotting violinist, singer and composer Azhaar Saffar brings her band Global Wave back to North Devon Jazz Club to play a rich variety of music which displays influences from all over the world.
Azhaar has travelled widely in Central and South America and spent time teaching the Sistema Method of music as a way of building communities in Costa Rica. Her compositions are strongly influenced by these travels and also her Iraqi/Welsh roots. The music is a vibrant, irreverent fusion of world rhythms, funk and jazz, enhanced by Azhaar's sonorous violin. https://youtu.be/L7FYufkbiPs https://azhaarsaffar.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/azhaar-1 www.azhaarsaffar.co.uk
