Have You Been To: Minton's Playhouse Sessions

Answered by: Hania Glapa

Why should punters visit you? Minton's Playhouse Sessions are 1940s jazz jam and be-bop style sessions that pay homage to the greats. The B East celebrate them once a month along with some of Melbourne's best jazz musicians.

What's the history of the event? Many performers are fresh-faced musical geniuses along with seasoned professionals. Sessions are lead by Aleister James and Rob Simone.

Any advice for first timers who want to visit the event? Gigs are always free at The B East and Minton's is sponsored by Jameson, keeping everyone in cheap whiskey all night. Come down, or even get on the stage yourself!

Do you have any plans for the event in the future? Yes.

When and where for your next event? Minton's runs on the last Thursday of each month from 8pm at The B East.
