BBE Music's Japanese Jazz Series with DJs Tony Higgins and Mike Peden

BBE uncovers some of the most sought after material from the late 1960s to the early 1980s Japan, pulling together music from key artists who shaped the post-war modern jazz scene.

Join us for an afternoon of listening sessions. Compiled by Tony Higgins and Mike Peden, both long-time collectors of Japanese jazz, 'J Jazz' brings together the very best in modern jazz from Japan, recorded during a critical period of musical and cultural transition that saw composers and musicians not only assert a new artistic identity but also create a lasting musical legacy.

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

Stage times: 1–5pm. Stage times are approximate and subject to change.
