The Very Special Evenings
The heart of China town has witnessed some amazing music over the past year form the Pretap music label. The phenomena started on Wednesdays in September 2005 with Jazz from the Ike Leo Trio with some of London's premier Jazz musicians. Then at the beginning of 2006, because of the success of the evenings, the Wednesdays changed from Jazz to the regular appearance of funky band Oniva. But because of the popularity of the Jazz and the many requests for its return it was reintroduced on regular on Sundays from April until December in 2006 with The Ike Leo Trio where again each week featured a regular new and changing line up of some of London's best Jazz musicians, the results of which can be seen via the live videos on the Trio Video page. From time to time there were appearances of dynamic Salsa band Mezcla de Londres and recently the unveiling of unique African influenced project Distant Cousins.
