pedrometer Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 What is the usual length of time for a jazz set? 45 mins? 30 mins? Quote
Free For All Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 It varies, and it depends on the overall length of the gig and/or policy of the club how you divide it up, but in my experience 75 minutes or so seems to be fairly typical. Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 It varies, and it depends on the overall length of the gig and/or policy of the club how you divide it up, but in my experience 75 minutes or so seems to be fairly typical. It does seem that's about the average any more, but it feels pretty long if they only play four or five tunes in that time. I often feel like leaving then, because too frequently there's about a 45-60 minute break, and I may not want to catch another 75 minute set, putting me over well over 3 hours in the club. I don't like walking out during the set. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 I guess it depends on where you are...I see you're in London...we'd typically play 45-60 minute long sets there... However, it also depends on the venue. If it's a 'two shows a night' thing (e.g. the 606 or Ronnie's), it may be a longer set - 75mins or so...if it's a multiple-band type thing, they can be shorter -30 minutes even... Quote
