Scarborough Jazz presents live music every Wednesday evening at The Crescent Lounge. A mix of top flight musicians on national tours, the very best groups from the North of England, and guest soloists joining the house band make for a rich variety of music covering a wide range of styles with improvisation at their heart. Also look out for regular ‘New Jazz Generation’ support spots providing the area’s young people (and some older!) with the chance to perform in a real jazz club environment.

As part of Scarborough Fringe 2026, on 17 June we’re presenting local favourites Stony Jazz, with Rich Adams on vocals, Mark Gordon on piano and a six-piece band – the perfect introduction for the ‘jazz curious’ with plenty of songs you’ll recognise drawn from the pop and jazz worlds served with a generous splash of good humour.
