Porgy & Bess in Museumsquartier

Vienna's orphaned jazz club, Porgy & Bess, have moved into the present shambles that is the Museumsquartier, Vienna's answer to the Pompidou Centre which is due to open in a year's time. To coincide with Kunsthalle's exhibition of Lisette Model's stupendous photographs of the bebop era, the club have put together a series of sessions involving local musicians paying tribute to the artists immortalised in Model's work. In August these will feature Coleman Hawkins, Duke Ellington and Hank Mobley and the ticket price includes a visit to the exhibition.
