JAZZ... nice! Break out the black turtlenecks, shades and Gauloises, because the city gets hip to the sound of bebop this week for the annual OxfordJazz festival.

Running until Sunday, acts range from one-time Ronnie Scott collaborator Mornington Lockett to gypsy jazz artists, marking the 100th anniversary of Django Reinhardt’s birth.

Rocks Off will be necking a couple of strong espressos and heading to the Jazz Jam – from 11pm each night of the festival at The Big Bang, Walton Street, Jericho. Entry is £5, or free if you bring an instrument (you have to be able to play it though... and I don’t think kazoos count). See full line-up at oxfordjazzfestival.com
