We have been exploring the jazz environment, looking at ways we can support everyone in their work. To start with, we asked a wide range of people, across the UK to start with, three questions:

What do you consider is a healthy jazz environment?

How is the jazz environment in your work?

And finally, what can we do to change it?

We were thrilled with the response and very grateful that some people were happy to film their answers. Huge thank you to Sarah Moule, Roger Wilson, Luca Manning, Charlotte Keeffe, Derek Daley, Helena Summerfield, Graham J, Ashaine White and Wendy Kirkland.

We are very excited to be launching our new podcast series this month in partnership with Céline Peterson and Black Lives in Music. Stayed tuned for our first episode!

Very happy to launch the second video as part of our Women in Jazz Media initiative to platform and support female photographers and composers. The stunning photography of Fatiha Berrak accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack from Ioana Selaru 'Any Minute Now'.
