Our jazz quartet had the pleasure of performing at The Velvet Lounge, an iconic venue nestled in the heart of Soho. Renowned for its intimate atmosphere and exceptional acoustics, The Velvet Lounge is celebrated for its rich history of hosting world-class jazz acts and providing a sophisticated experience for both performers and audiences.
