JAZZ...but not what you usually think!

SNOWBOY & THE LATIN SECTION

There can be no denying that the pyrotechnic Snowboy And The Latin Section -  - or as we like to call them for this unique event, the P-LATIN-UM SECTION - are Europe’s leading Afro Cuban Jazz group. From their debut release in 1985, they have released 16 albums and played concerts and festivals in over 22 countries, from Holland to Australia, from Japan to Scotland.


Snowboy has recorded or performed percussion with many, many Jazz and Latin artists such as Airto Moreira, Deodato, Makoto Kuriya, Herman Olivera, Flaco Jimenez, Jon Lucien, James Taylor Quartet, Big John Patton, and Incognito as well as Lisa Stansfield, Imelda May, Amy Winehouse, Rod Temperton, Mark Ronson, Basia, Simply Red, Mick Hucknall, Mica Paris, Darrel Higham, Patti Austin and many, many more. More importantly he is also the leader of his world - famous Afro-Cuban Jazz group, featuring a who’s-who of the UK’s most exciting and fiery Jazz and Latin players.


Their music draws on Salsa, Mambo and Latin Jazz, and captures the block party feel of 1970’s New York, inspired, as ever, by the greats such as Eddie Palmieri and Tito Puente. Their current album ‘New York Afternoon’ reached Number 1 in the Latin Jazz chart and Number 6 in the Jazz chart on Amazon, and was the Number 1 Salsa album on the Colombian radio station ‘Salsa Exitos Del Mundo’ for two weeks, plus continuous Jazz and Salsa radio play all over the world to date.

SULTAN STEVENSON TRIO

SULTAN STEVENSON TRIO

Contemporary jazz young-blood Sultan Stevenson has risen through the ranks of the immense Tomorrow's Warrior's programme and whilst still a student has formed one of the most exciting jazz trios on the circuit today. Melding traditional Black American jazz themes with his own Black British cultural experiences, Sultan together with Joel Waters on drums and Jacob Gryn on bass created a soundscape that took London's Jazz Cafe by storm when they opened for global jazz superstar Billy Cobham. Be prepared.....

CONG-FUSION

SULTAN STEVENSON TRIO

Cong-Fusion bring us that late 20th jazz funk, fusion, world and soul music vibe. Band Leader Ryan McCaffrey, together with some of today's hardest working UK jazz musicians debut what will inevitably become a timeless album of original, diverse and totally danceable sounds that will bring back old and create lasting new memories. Expect world music influences deftly interplayed with contemporary and classical jazz and keep your eye on this lot, they're ones to watch!

dudley moore by TOMALIN MANINGTON & GILES

Not only was Dagenham's own Hollywood star Dudley Moore an Oscar winning actor, comedian and script writer but also a phenomenal TV & movie theme composer and a world-class, classically trained jazz pianist.. Dudley cut his jazz chops as a teen on the Becontree Estate before graduating to Oxford, becoming star of TV's Beyond the Fringe and then owner of the Establishment Club in the same block in Soho as Ronnie Scott's. Dudley's incredible jazz story is told you brilliantly  in music by E17 Jazz's Nick Tomalin, Dave Manington & Tim Giles

The Stewart CURTIS QUINTET

The BRASS BOTTOM BOYS JAZZ PARADE

dudley moore by TOMALIN MANINGTON & GILES

East Ender Ronnie Scott set the tone for world class jazz in London when he opened his Soho jazz clubs and his record label & agency in Romford. The irrepressible Stewart Curtis Quintet perform some of the game-changing sounds of the 50's & 60's jazz scene that continue to influence music in the UK and across the globe.

 This is likely the jazz sound that accompanied Her Majesty's accession to the throne and her party afterwards...hmmm?? !

The BRASS BOTTOM BOYS JAZZ PARADE

The BRASS BOTTOM BOYS JAZZ PARADE

The BRASS BOTTOM BOYS JAZZ PARADE

We kickstart Jazz East Jubilee with some of the original jazz we'd probably have listened to heard the year Her Majesty was born.  What better way to throw  open the gates to The Jazz East Jubilee than with the Brass Bottom Quintet who''ll strike a riotous jazz chord and parade guests to the jazz stage ! 

Expect mayhem!

the jazz story so far...

JAZZ IN RUINS!

THIS IS JAZZ....BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT!

JAZZ IS NOT DEAD, IT'S ALIVE, KICKING & BRINGING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER.

BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL.

A 70 YEAR JAZZ EVOLUTION & REVOLUTION...with AN east LONDON flaVOUR

ONE SPECIAL DAY FOR ONE SPECIAL LADY.


Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was born in the same year as Miles Davis and John Coltrane so we think there was something in water that year that's worth celebrating with jazz!


We've pulled together a fab line up of some of the London & Essex's finest jazz musicians to celebrate the influence East London has had on the music scene since Her Majesty took to the throne in the 50's right through to today!


JAZZ IN THE FIFTIES

Ronnie Scott - he of the worlds most famous jazz club in Soho - was born in East London's Aldgate where he gained his jazz chaps playing saxophone in and around the pubs and clubs of the East End from the age of 16. He set up his club in Soho in 1959, transforming live jazz performance and showcasing some of the worlds most important jazz musicians from across the Globe.


JAZZ IN THE SIXTIES 

Dudley Moore was brought up on Becontree Estate in Dagenham where he was schooled in classical piano but developed an absolute passion for jazz music.  Renowned for his highly acclaimed 60's British satirical comedy sketch show Beyond the Fringe, he wrote and performed the theme tune, the scripts and appeared with his infamous partner Peter Cook before becoming an Oscar winning Hollywood movie star in films Arthur & Micky & Maude. 


JAZZ IN THE SEVENTIES & EIGHTIES 

UK music scene became  heavily influenced by US jazz artists such as Steely Dan, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock & Weather Report & increasingly popularised in discos & nightclubs &  TV & movie soundtracks. Ronnie Scott's moved its in-house record label and artist agency to Romford, Essex and the hugely influential jazz dance scene grew exponentially from Southend-on-Sea & Canvey Island. The emergence of British bands like Level 42, Freeez, Light of the World, Jamiraquai and the Average White Band started to integrate "world" music themes to create a hugely successful emergence of jazz funk  that continues to fill arenas, dance floors and playlists today.


JAZZ FROM NINETIES, TO NOUGHTIES TO NOW

Follow jazz's seemingly regular 20 year cycles of evolution, synthesiser & sax-filled 'smooth jazz' waxed and waned seeing a launch, reimagination & re-birth of JAZZ FM in various guises between 2008 & 2018 . The internet brought specialist DAB stations and and today, key organisations such as NYJO,  Tomorrow's Warriors & Jazz Re:freshed are breaking down barriers across communities, cultures and perceptions to grow jazz audiences across the UK
