Our Jazz Leeds international season starts this month bringing some of the finest musicians in the world to Leeds. In February we have one of the most exciting young vocalists on the European jazz scene, Emilia Mårtensson from Sweden, a superb quartet fronted by two of the most original improvisers on either side of the Atlantic US pianist Ethan Iverson and Britain’s Martin Speake on sax, plus some more local favourites - saxman Ed Kainiek, guitarist Jeff Hewer and local Leeds heroes the Soul Surgeons.
