 (Press release) Thursday 30th September - Sunday 3rd October (Exhibition Preview and Warm Up: Saturday 25th September) A multicultural mélange celebrating the rich tapestry of improvised music
from the UK Jazz scene.
Whilst also celebrating the 100th anniversary year of the first ever jazz
recordings, Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music responded to the
cities need for a grass roots contemporary jazz festival, and the development
of strong cohesive creative partnerships between key regional promoters
including Jazz North East, Jazz Coop at The Globe, The Literary and
Philosophical Society, Newcastle Arts Centre, Gosforth Civic Theatre and
GemArts. After temporary hiatus in 2020 (in which the festival launched the New Jazz and Improvised Music
Recordings project) we’re back and once again presenting a stellar
line-up of events. With the uncertainties of Covid and Brexit still looming, to give us the best
chance of going ahead this edition will focus on UK based artists. Tickets
are initially selling at socially distanced capacities, with further to be released
early September should science guide us. Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music gratefully acknowledges Arts
Council England, associated partners and funders for their support.
