60-second interview with Tammy Weis…

Does the spirit of jazz live in NW10? It certainly does in my flat…
What brought you to Kensal Rise? I was living in North London and a musician friend knew of a flat available and I loved the neighbourhood!
If Kensal Rise was a jazz standard which one would it be? ‘On the Street Where You Live’
What’s the jazziest establishment in Kensal Rise and why? The gift shop Rise plays a lot of jazz and has very cool things and Minkie’s Deli – they have had live jazz.
If you had to duet with another local resident who would it be and why? Joseph Dean Osgood – he has a lot of soul that one!
What’s your ideal way to spend a day in your neighbourhood (OK, enough jazz references…) A class at the Special Yoga Centre followed by a massage with Alison Durant (Clifford Gardens) and then a banoffee pie at Kandana (Kilburn Lane, W10; 020 8964 8800).
Forthcoming gigs include 7 March at the Hideaway Club, Stanthorpe Road, Streatham SW16 (020 8677 7791); 18 March at Pizza on the Park, 11 Knightsbridge, SW1 (0845 6027017)
