Location

Rich Mix,
35-47 Bethnal Green Road
E1 6LA

An exciting mix of exquisite UK talent, picked from the ever-growing list of jazz singer-songwriters moving the genre forward.

Curated by Martha D Lewis, the programme features four homegrown jazz singer-songwriters from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds who are conveying their cultural influences and creating a new hybrid space between jazz, R&B, hip-hop, avant-garde and indie.


Ese & The Vooduu People

"A really cool band" - Iggy Pop

A killer live act cooking up a heady stew of improvised rock jazz soul funk and afrobeat. Storytelling through song, no two gigs are the same and eclectic improvisation is the name of the game.

Martha D Lewis


“..infused with Jazz sensibilities and art-pop.. Lewis is a woman with something to say and a powerful way of saying it” Jazz Wise

Award-winning composer, Jazz and World singer-songwriter performs her acclaimed 2022 release - ALL THAT YOU SEE – accompanied by stunning pianist Luke Bacchus.

Charlotte Lansman

"Charlotte’s commanding vocal, rich even in restraint, is a Jazzy songstress, a quality performer who tells it how it is". - A&R Factory

Using her powerful contralto tones and her poetic, often deeply personal songwriting skills, London based, Bristol-born singer influenced from the world of jazz and soul - will be performing her released songs as well as unreleased work from the upcoming EP.

Xantoné Blacq

Xantoné Blacq is a Creative Force whose Music fuses Stevie Wonder’s soulfulness and vocal style with Herbie Hancock’s funky keyboard playing and Quincy Jones’ arranging brilliance. Expect a warm, inclusive and colourful performance with Groove and Improvisation.

“It would be difficult to find a more generous and talented musician than Xantoné Blacq”. Nigel Kennedy.
