Hosted by George Holahan Cantwell, Chapel Row Jazz brings a rotating lineup of Sydney's emerging jazz musicians to the Reagh Bar every Friday night.
A Sydney-based jazz pianist, vocalist and composer, George performs regularly across the city and is currently studying Jazz Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Each week, he curates a different quartet featuring some of Sydney's most exciting young players — Conservatorium musicians, award-winning instrumentalists and performers active across the city's jazz and live music scene.
Expect jazz standards, modern arrangements, sharp improvisation and the spontaneous moments that only happen live. With a different lineup each week, no two Fridays sound the same.
It's less a formal concert, more a Friday night session: talented young musicians playing with passion, a crowd there for the vibe, and a heritage bar that feels like a hidden jazz club in the middle of the city.
Free entry. No bookings required.

Every Sunday people gather opposite the NSW Art Gallery to discuss all matters. It's a safe place for anyone who wants to engage in real debate, about any topic.
The ones standing on ladders are the speakers, and they believe it is their job to educate their 'grasshoppers' or 'groundlings'. The ones in chairs believe it's their job to point out why the speaker is wrong and to heckle. Both parties are kept busy.
And, if a passer-by has something to say, they might well be given five minutes to say it, up on The Ladder of Knowledge.
So, come along and argue with the ratbags. Or get on a ladder and be one!
If you decide you have had enough, they generously provide The New South Wales Art gallery across the road.
