Saturday 19th April 2008 The Servant Jazz Quarters, Dalston, London 10 Bradbury Street, Dalston, N16 What they say...The Servant Jazz Quarters is in the heart of Dalston, on Bradbury street. Our raison d’etre is to put on monthly parties with bands and djs. We came into being because we exist under the backside of The Vortex Jazz club... sometimes you can hear the lonely sax player rehearse his scales on the fire escape stairs..we became the servants. www.myspace.com/
