Eldie Young may be small in stature but in the jazz world he’s a giant. After winning legions of fans as the inaugural act at Shangri-La’s Blue Note last year, the bassist returns with his jazz quartet. He’s played with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to T-Bone Walker and always adds a dash of humour to his accomplished performances. The venue is equally stylish, so sit back and listen to your Eldee.

The Austrian Museum for Folk Culture can always be relied upon for its unusual presentations of the more pedestrian aspects of daily life. In this new exhibition the focus is on idleness and the strategies people in Vienna have used over the past two centuries to free themselves of the rigours of work. Especially appropriate in a city obsessed with ‘Gemütlichkeit’ or cosiness, the exhibition brings together paintings, photographs and objects mapping the city’s successful approach to sloth and invites visitors to ask themselves what actually happens when we’re doing nothing.
