Played Twice

Do you like jazz? How about double jazz? A bar in Dalston has just announced a series of very cool sounds, putting a new twist on old masterpieces. If you head down to Brilliant Corners, you’ll hear a classic jazz record not once but twice. The original album comes first, played through a high-end quadrophonic soundsystem. Then an equally high-end quartet of genre-blurring jazz musicians take to the stage to reinterpret the whole album for the twenty-first century. Played Twice is a real boost for Dalston’s reputation as London’s most undersung jazz destination. It’s not all Reeboks and Rihanna out there, you know.
