Jazz Alive
UK PARTNER
Jazz Alive is creating an exciting opportunity enabling young musicians and vocalists to explore the history of jazz music in the UK and take part in creative music making led by award winning British Jazz musicians and composers Soweto Kinch and Orphy Robinson.
Sessions take place in a professional music studio with Orphy Robinson and Soweto Kinch, allowing participants to produce pieces of music inspired by their learning on the origins of jazz. The sessions include masterclasses from young musicians who have experience fusing jazz with other genres and visits from guest speakers as well as visits to the London Jazz Festival and the BBC live recording venue at Maida Vale.
The Jazz Alive course also includes the history of the development of British jazz through the pioneering work of musicians from a Black British background, who have influenced the music globally, giving this project a unique foundation.
