Here is a list of jazz in Cambridge found over the past few months. The 
jazz in question falls into the category of improvisation on the 
standards as listed here http://www.jazzstandards.com/compositions/index.htm

The Andy Bowie quartet plays every Sunday evening at the Cricketers 
Melbourne Place between 8.30pm and 11.10pm the pub has a licence until 
midnight, occasionlly 1a.m.  Samples of the music played can be found at 
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=953052

The only regular performer is Andy Bowie and the drums / bass / keyboard 
players come and go with occasional guest appearances by young musicians 
still at college. Next week on the 19th Sarah Tandy is playing as a 
guest on the keyboard, on leave from the Royal Academy. Providing the 
Cricketers is open on Boxing Day Andy Bowie will be playing then also.

In term time Jazz at Johns is worth keeping in touch with, they have a 
website which vanished at the end of term www.jazzatjohns.co.uk but 
announcements and exact location may be found on Facebook at 
http://www.facebook.com/jazzatjohns along with past events and information.

The Cambridge University Jazz Orchestra CUJO play in term time, have a 
website here http://www.cujo.org.uk/performances with forthcoming 
perfomances on the 4th and 22nd February.  I heard them on the 26th 
November at Johns and they were superb.

Even less frequent are jazz events at the Hidden Rooms in Jesus Lane, 
beneath the Pizza Express, http://www.hiddenthing.com/events.html I 
haven't been so can't comment on the quality or otherwise of the guest 
bands.
