Members' Choice
This year’s Youth Jazz Commission has been awarded to 24 year old jazz pianist and composer currently studying an MA at The Royal Academy of Music in London. He began composing as an undergraduate at Birmingham Conservatoire and his well reviewed debut album ‘Rough Boundaries’, is a suite of original big band music featuring Birmingham Jazz Orchestra. Jacky’s family is from the Aire, Worth and Calder valleys in West Yorkshire, where the mills and wool industry articulate not only key experiences in the lives of his grandparents and parents, also the cultural experience of industrial northern towns.
The project will produce a suite of music capturing the varying aspects of the Industrial Revolution. The suite will divide into five sections: The Weaving Shed; Wakes Weeks; War of Attrition; Decline of Industry; Rebirth and will feature a new sextet that Jacky is assembling especially for this project.
