Tomorrow’s Warriors Jazz and Jam
Tomorrow’s Warriors is the hippest young jazz collective in the country and in 2015 is returning to Bristol to run a brand new series of jazz workshops, at Trinity Centre for young musicians with lots of potential and who just love to know more about playing jazz. Tomorrow’s Warriors has spawned some of the most exciting young jazz musicians over the past two decades, including the award-winning Zara McFarlane (MOBO Best Jazz Act 2014); Moses Boyd, winner of the 2014 Worshipful Company of Musicians’ Prize for Young Jazz Musician of the Year; and Music for Youth National Festival Award winners for Best Jazz Ensemble Tomorrow’s Warriors Female Collective (2014) and Ezra Collective (2013).
Tomorrow’s Warriors has been instrumental in developing several internationally-touring artists, helping them achieve their ambitions and forge successful professional careers...Denys Baptiste, Soweto Kinch, Abram Wilson, Nathaniel Facey, Jason Yarde, Julie Dexter, Andrew McCormack, Shabaka Hutchings, Eska Mtungwasi...out of a cast of so many others!
Tomorrow’s Warriors founder and artistic director, Gary Crosby OBE heads the Young Artist Development Programme with a fabulous team of inspirational music leaders – all active professional musicians developed through our programmes who can help young people discover what it’s like to be a real jazz musician.
