by Andrew Hunter
July 14, 2026

Like so many talented young musicians in London, Dylan Jones spent some time developing his skills with Tomorrow's Warriors, a talent development organization without which we might never have heard Courtney Pine, Steve Williamson, Yazz Ahmed, Nubya Garcia, Soweto Kinch... The London scene would be very different without them. Jones played in Ezra Collective ...

by Chris May
September 4, 2021

London-based trumpeter and composer Mark Kavuma was last seen in this parish in July 2019. At the start of that month, Kavuma released his second album with his nonet, The Banger Factory.

September 11, 2019

A cornerstone of London's underground jazz scene—as well as leading his own band he plays in Ezra Collective and groups led by the tenor saxophonists Binker Golding and Nubya Garcia—the keyboard player Joe Armon-Jones released his first own-name album, Starting Today (Brownswood), in spring 2018. A jewel of nu-fusion which owes almost as much to the ...

Various Artists: Whiskey Juliet Foxtrot

Much like the highly-regarded We Out Here (Brownswood Recordings, 2018), Whiskey Juliet Foxtrot is all about showcasing some exciting new talent in jazz. However, there is perhaps an extra lesson to be learned from Byrd Out's new compilation album; we would be wrong to assume that the UK's flourishing scene is solely concentrated in London.

Walthamstow Jazz Festival London February 16, 2019 If you're not from London the name Walthamstow most likely means nothing to you, unless perhaps you admire the work of designer and craftsman William Morris. Even to most Londoners it is probably little more than the fabled end of the Victoria Line. ...
