Live Jazz at Brasserie Blanc Milton Keynes
Every last Thursday of the month from 7:30pm, at Brasserie Blanc Milton Keynes we host a monthly live jazz night, bringing together some of the finest jazz musicians from across the region and beyond.
Whether you are a lifelong jazz devotee or simply love the idea of a night out that feels genuinely special, you are very welcome here.
Milton Keynes’ Best Live Jazz Night Out
Each of our jazz nights in Milton Keynes brings a different act, a different mood and a different reason to gather. From classic vocal jazz and Great American Songbook standards to sophisticated post bop instrumentals and swinging Latin grooves, every night has its own character.
What stays the same is the warmth of the welcome, the quality of the cooking and that unmistakable feeling that you are exactly where you should be.

Our next jazz night is one to savour. Double bassist and vocalist Natasha Thompson is joined by three of the Midlands’ finest: Paul Clarke on saxophone, Sam Montero on keys and Steve Vintner on drums.
