The Jazz Cafe

you might think the subject title may be a little exaggerated, but it is not.

better give the basics: tis in camden, decent prices for drinks, hard to get your place back in the crowd once youve gone to loo. got an upstairs for eating and chillin' if you can splash money on a date.

i'd like to hit this spot more often than any other. the greatest highlight for me was the beatnuts and talib kweli gig, where me and some friends were in the middle of the crowd, and this little afro carribean guy just pushed us aside and jumped on the stage grabbed a mic and rapped "black...STAR". this little man was Mos Def. One great hip hop artist. something Jazz Cafe is renowned for; i have seen Platinum Pied Pipers, Ty, Estelle, Rhianne Benson, ?uestlove, Jazzanova, Eric Roberson and many other hip hop and r&b artists there. Its not often youd find yourself dancing with one of these people to a michael jackson or marvin gaye song...so get on down and STFU!
