Saffron Hall 10th Birthday: A Jazz Celebration
Saffron Hall 10th Birthday: A Jazz CelebrationPresented by Saffron Hall
Part of 10th Birthday Celebrations
Get ready for a night of unforgettable jazz as we celebrate the 10th birthday of Saffron Hall! Join us for an evening of jazz, soul and contemporary music featuring the extraordinary talents of saxophonist Dan Forshaw (curator of Saffron Hall's famous Foyer Jazz), vocalist Juliet Kelly and pianist James Beckwith. These stars of the UK jazz scene are joined by former students of the Saffron Centre for Young Musicians, now rising stars in their own right.
Be transported to a world of smooth melodies, soulful harmonies and electrifying rhythms. Dan Forshaw is one of the most charismatic musicians on the UK scene. Having studied with Branford Marsalis in New York, Dan is a regular at Ronnie Scott’s, Pizza Express Dean St and has been the programmer of our Foyer Jazz series since its inception in 2016. Juliet Kelly's voice is a powerhouse of emotion, ranging from sultry to soaring, and always full of heart. Juliet is a firm favourite with audiences at Saffron Hall having performed for both the Foyer Jazz series and in the main hall. James Beckwith, who recently launched his debut album at Ronnie Scott’s, is a masterful pianist whose playing is both technically brilliant and deeply expressive.
Food trucks Nomadough and The Wandering Yak will be joining us, serving up a selection of street food for you to enjoy.
