'Once again it was an absolute pleasure working with these inspiring artists. The breath of talent in the UK jazz (and related) scenes is truly incredible and it’s a real privilege to play a small part in it.
Big thanks to Grace Pitkin, Fusion, Jason Yarde, Tim Hand and all the session leaders for their guidance, Arts Council England and PRS Foundation for funding the programme, Cats Abbey for hosting us, and of course the musicians. It was also a pleasure to welcome Stephen Lynch who joined us as a production mentee in partnership with Black Lives in Music.
Make sure to check out all of their music and stay tuned for some excited plans for them in EFG London Jazz Festival...' (Rob Farhat, Talent Development Lead and Senior Programmer)
