The annual EFG London Jazz Festival kicks off officially next Friday (14th November) and runs until Sunday 23rd November. As ever, the programme is varied and expansive, featuring music from across the world, a balance of nationally and internationally renowned musicians, youth music initiatives and talks.
This year, the rich jazz scene in the North is well represented by a variety of performances throughout the festival. Dave Kane and Chris Sharkey both appear during the festival leading workshops and sessions designed to make improvised music accessible and appealing to young people, numerous LCoM alumni bring their groups to perform and Phil Meadows' Engines Orchestra debuts.
