"Detective McBride rubbed his stinging eyes and looked over his blood-stained lapels to the pool of gasoline and rancid brandy that had been his bed for the night. Groaning, he sat up and struck a match off a sleeping elephant’s backside. He lit his lucky, inhaling deeply: “What the Scarface happened?”
At the Riot Jazz Cafe, anything is possible: a place of dreams and liquid wondermint. A place where the air is thick with the smog of pumping jazz, sweat beads cling to the walls like condensation on an ice-bucket in a Cuban brothel and an undulating mass of mammal flesh dance through the day and into the night, getting their kicks, before the morning comes and they back-track their steps down the road paved with bad intentions... The road to Riot Jazz."

Enter a non-stop method re-enactment uncovering the 20th century’s most secret weekend...
Where East met West, organic met industrial, hooch met vodka, then met now as a time-travelling Soviet submarine rammed in to the most infamous gangland barrelhouse of 1930’s New York.
Three days, three nights... a tale of two sides.
By day things were as they were most. Lounging jazz and booming boogie woogie with the finest freak lips, finger zingers and hid hitters this side of Satan’s Kichen to get your jitterbugs jumping! Served hot with a side of mouth-watering munch from the Café’s award-winning bagels, panninis, steak sandwiches and other all-American delectables! Feed your soul and fill your gutbucket!
But as darkness fell the time-travelling Comrades would storm the stage… transforming the joint into a roaring battlefield of Klezmer, Balkan beats, dubstep and other sounds from the dance floors of the future... and each morning the daddy-o’s, hot jazz hipsters and beatniks fought back...
