In 2008 an initiative involving Yamaha UK in partnership with Classic FM, Jazzwise magazine and the All-Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group resulted in an acclaimed scholarship programme that offers financial support with performance and recording opportunities to a new generation of young jazz musicians. Seven of the major Music Colleges choose one performer to participate in this scheme, and the seven successful musicians get to record their own groups to be presented on a brand new CD. It is this CD, the “YAMAHA NEW JAZZ SESSIONS”, that we are launching tonight. Leading their own groups, five of the scholars, Angus Milne (bass), Dave Ingamell (drums), Elliott Galvin (piano), Lloyd Haines (drums) and Peter Johnston (piano) will perform a mix of original material and classic jazz standards in a programme that promises to be both innovative and exciting (sadly, two of the scholars - Sam Miles and Alex Woods - are away & can’t be present).
