JAZZ at THE TOWER!
If you have been down to The
Crossroads
Blues Club recently, you can't fail to have noticed the driving and creative
keyboard playing of Freddie Pirotta. Freddie hosts his own monthly Jazz evening at the Tower of Song, with some of the giants of the Birmingham jazz
scene dropping in to make sure things go with a swing. The evening is called imaginatively
