We want to extend a big thank you to Big Yellow Self Storage for their incredible support.

Their facility has made a significant difference for us. With many of our performances and concerts running late into the night, having 24/7 access to secure storage has been essential.

Both the space and their support are invaluable to us!

This July, we launched our Summer Jazz Hang Programme in partnership with The Julian Joseph Jazz Academy.
30 young, soulful and talented jazz musicians have come together to cultivate their artistry, enrich and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education, and friendship.
These talented jazz cats have also been lucky enough to receive tuition from jazz legends, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, jazz pianist Julian Joseph and vocalist Cleveland Watkiss.
They've already performed at the opening for Brazilian trombonist Joabe Reis’ first ever London performance, the Battersea Jazz Festival (opening for Celebrating Cannonball Adderley concert) the annual Happy Streets Festival, and at a private summer BBQ party in Wandsworth!

On Friday 21 June, we have a triple-bill from three of the finest bands in the lively London jazz scene, with thanks to PPL for their support.

Danny Piers is a British-Spanish jazz pianist based in London. He taught himself jazz piano in his late teenage years after falling in love with the music of Erroll Garner and Oscar Peterson. Having established firm roots in the swing tradition, he began to experiment with more contemporary sounds – absorbing the music of John Taylor, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Shai Maestro.

Under the guidance of renowned British pianist Julian Joseph, Daniel has been cultivating a deep rhythmic approach and melodic sensibility to improvised music. He was one of the few selected to compete in the 15th Unisa International Jazz Piano Competition which took place in January 2024 in South Africa.
