It’s our tenth anniversary this year so we’re celebrating! We've been very encouraged by the Festival Jazz Day we ran in Millennium Square Leeds in August so we're now going ahead with something more ambitious in July 2018. We’re changing our name too from Seven Jazz to JazzLeeds!

Village Jazz Festival 17 in Chapel Allerton Leeds 1-3 Sept
This will be our second Village Jazz Festival as part of the Chapel Allerton Festival. 14 funky bands in three days in four Chapel Allerton venues including Dave Kane's Magic Ya Ya band and Dave O'Higgins Quartet.  More details on http://ift.tt/2v7wHz9

We've prepared a feast of fantastic music for you in our packed autumn programme at our Seven Arts and Inkwell venues. Rising Danish star vocalist and saxman Mads Mathias and leading US saxophonist Craig Handy are both us.  The Christine Tobin Quintet, supported by Phil Robson on guitar, will play the music and songs of one of the great songwriters of the last century, Leonard Cohen.

We also will host one of the most intriguing jazz and poetry commission of 2017 -Alan Barnes and Josie Gray's all star "Fish Tales" septet . Arun Ghosh will bring us his intriguing mix of hip-hop, Indian classical and folk, Western classical, rock, pop and avant-garde. We will greet The Stan Tracey Legacy Octet - whose players include most of Stan's last Octet, led by his son Clark and with Steve Melling on piano.

We also have a host of big bands - the legendary Ronnie Bottomley Jazz Orchestra, the Strictly Smokin Big Band and the Tom Sharp Jazz Orchestra plus South African saxman Dan Shout, Dutch pianist Dom Marshall, Gypsy Jazz from Lachepen and music from Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean from Turkish and Greek folk music to Romani music and Klezmer from Don Kipper - and many more bands from Leeds and the region - over 40 bands will play for us this autumn!
