We would like to extend thanks to these Patrons, who provide invaluable help to the festival above and beyond any call of duty and whose private contribution is very helpful in ensuring the long term success of this annual event.

If you would like to make a private contribution that helps keep a great opportunity open for top quality jazz musicians to play live to real audiences, we would welcome the opportunity to talk to you.

We are not a charity but we are passionate about supporting live music and jazz in particular, as we prefer not to follow the crowds but to carve a path for an ever evolving and wide ranging genre, with its roots in real people in alternative places that colour life with a celebration of difference, variety and cultural fusion. We particularly support the emerging young talents of the new jazz generation alongside the names of today.
