Celebrating the Jazz Clubs
The creativity and originality of the Guildhall Jazz community is celebrated in the School’s annual Jazz Festival, presented in partnership with EFG London Jazz Festival.
Sultan Stevenson is one of the most exciting young jazz musicians in London today. He is a product of both the Julian Joseph Jazz Academy and Tomorrow’s Warriors, from a young age under the tuition of renowned jazz musicians such as Julian Joseph, Gary Crosby, Simon Purcell and Robert Mitchell. He has graduated from The Guildhall School of Music, where he studied jazz piano up until 2023.
Jemima Whyte and her 6-piece band combine the contemporary alto sound with rich horn harmonies and infectious grooves. Inspired by the sounds of other modern players such Kenny Garrett and Baptiste Herbin, the 23-year-old saxophonist and her compositions showcase her rich tone and angular improvising style.
An exciting collaboration between the up and coming Ben Liu Trio and Marlon Hibbert -leader of the Endurance Steel Orchestra. Featuring steel pan, an instrument that is not commonly associated with jazz, a mix of originals and jazz standards will premier for the first time in this upcoming performance.
