An Evening with The 253 Jazz Band
Pizza Express Live Holborn, WC1V 6LF , [Venue Details]Named after a shared bus to university, The 253 have been playing together for close to a decade, fusing their varied musical influences to create joyful live experiences.
Featuring saxophone, bass, drums, cellos, keys, and soaring vocals, their sets blend explosive original tunes with inventive takes on jazz classics. You can expect groove, experimentation and a genre-blending live show that’s as musically rich as it is full of heart.
The 253 are a boundary-pushing collective blending modern jazz with afrobeat, dance, and fusion influences to deliver electrifying live performances. Formed by friends jamming at university, the group has evolved into a ensemble known for its adventurous sound, wide-ranging influences and joyful stage presence.
Their unique instrumentation - featuring cellos, saxophone, bass, keys, vocals and drums - gives The 253 a sonic palette that moves effortlessly from lyrical and lush to rhythmically explosive. The 253’s textures often break from convention, weaving classical sonorities into jazz harmony and groove. Whether performing originals or reimagined jazz standards, the band always brings fresh energy and unexpected twists to the stage. Their music-making is as likely to inspire dancing as it is close listening, making their shows a hit with both jazz heads and new listeners alike.
