David Porter's Northern Jazz Honours 2017 - Entrepreneur Generations

Moon Hooch

My three highlights of the jazz year show the wonderful diversity of artists that we are fortunate to have at the moment:

At Hull Jazz Festival we encountered Moon Hooch a power trio from Brooklyn produced more energy than any band that I have ever seen. One set, in fact one number of 90 minutes long that had the packed audience dancing all night long.

At Gateshead International Jazz Festival (always a delight) Laura Jurd and Daniel Herskedal made beautiful music with the Royal Northern Sinfonia strings

And finally, with an eye for the future, the wonderful Tomorrow’s Warriors led a truly inspirational project celebrating Jazz 100 with 6 local Hull schools and 2 youth jazz orchestras called Jazz Ticket with such great educators as Peter Edwards, Dennis Rollins, Binker, Sarah Tandy – what a great experience for the 100 young folk who took part!

Happy New Year, David

Director J-Night/Hull Jazz Festival
