rattlebag presents… TOKYO JAZZ JOINTS - this unique pop-up listening event is designed to capture the essence and ambience of these unparalleled listening spaces. It will provide a brief introduction to both the project and the culture of ‘jazu kissa’, with an active listening experience centred around three jazz records with a personal connection to the project, curated and introduced by Philip Arneill.

This event will be fully seated with doors open from 7pm and the event begins at 7.30pm, so please be prompt. No entry will be allowed after 7.30pm. Ticket price of £10 includes a bespoke rattlebag Japanese highball cocktail made with the exclusive Glendalough 7 Year Old Mizunara Cask whiskey.

TOKYO JAZZ JOINTS is an audiovisual documentary project to capture the vanishing world of Japanese jazz coffee shops (‘kissaten’) and bars, created by Belfast-born photographer Philip Arneill, and broadcaster writer and native New Yorker James Catchpole. Both are long-term residents of Japan and avid jazz fans, and since 2015 have been visiting ‘jazu kissa’ across the country to document them before they disappear from the musical landscape forever.
