Our new magazine is out now!!!

Our 14th edition and with a new logo too – inspired by China Moses!

Click here

This edition is full of women from across the globe. The dream is that Women in Jazz Media does not need to exist. The dream is that everyone across the world is heard, valued and supported, irrelevant of gender, age, ethnicity, disability or which instrument they play. A place where we all just talk about and enjoy great music. We are far from being there. In the age of AI, authenticity is even more important. This magazine is real. These are real artists, real writers, real music and real images. It is our honour to present stories, experiences, pain and joy through imagery, music, words and support from the contributors in this edition.

This is an interactive magazine, so please do click away to visit websites, buy music, watch videos etc, or you can download as a pdf. Please take your time.  Take a moment away from your phone and enjoy the photography on a larger screen. Please share the incredible artists you see here with your communities. Together we can support each other, we can inspire each other, and we can enjoy art, in all forms, together.

Athens born to Lebanese Canadian parents, Lara Eidi is an artist that thrives on being different. As an independent artist, singer and multi- instrumentalist, she has carved a path for herself that continuously aimed at reshaping and developing her voice as a storyteller. An accomplished and reputable singer-songwriter, pianist, recording artist and jazz- folk vocalist of her own accord based in London and Athens. Her music has gained her critical acclaim as a genre bending artist (BBC Artist, 2020), described as “a singer with true gift of a voice, a kind soul, and a captivating presence.” (Jazz UK). At the heart of her being as a multi-disciplinary artist, she is sought after as a composer for vocal film scores, writes as a freelance music journalist, and is in demand as a creative workshop leader. Her music seeks to elevate and heal, and as a result, she creates genre- defying songs with a great emphasis on story telling. Her latest album ‘Sun’, her long awaited debut album, is all about pulling the threads of her folk, acoustic rock and jazz-classical upbringing to her message of hope, empowerment, and freedom. As a soloist, her recent debut performance at the infamous Royal Albert Hall, singing select pieces from Greece and Lebanon form the Medieval Byzantine Traditions sees Lara engaging on a series of select and innovative performances with the SAUDHA Indian Classical Music Association.
