The Piano Bar Soho is a super intimate private cocktail bar—a club within a club, serving as recording studios by day while showcasing the finest jazz performers as part of the 100 Years of Grassroots Discovery. Nestled behind Jack Solomons, this hidden gem offers a premium close-quarters experience with table service and exclusive access, blending timeless jazz with film-inspired melodies—reservations essential.
Arran Kent is a woodwind player whose artistry has made him a standout in the modern jazz landscape. Based in London, he has brought his sound to stages across Europe, performing at numerous jazz festivals where his versatility and passion for both jazz and blues shine through. His appearances at Soho venues are often highlights of the programme, blending high-energy improvisation with soulful, lyrical melodies. Equally compelling whether leading a full band or performing in a more intimate setting, Arran’s command of woodwind instruments consistently captivates audiences and affirms his reputation as a distinctive voice in contemporary jazz.
Behind the doors of Jack Solomons Jazz Club, The Piano Bar sits quietly in the back — equal parts recording studio and late-night hideout. By day, it’s where music is made. By night, it slips into something smoother: low lighting, sharp cocktails, and live jazz so close you’ll feel every note. It’s not open to passers-by — entry’s by booking, ticket, or membership only.
