LANCASTER JAZZ FESTIVAL PRESENTS : IGNITE SHOWCASE
2.2.26Join us on Friday 6th March for Lancaster Jazz Festival’s Ignite Showcase!
Lancaster Jazz Festival’s Ignite showcase is designed to light a spark for a new wave of contemporary jazz artists, embodying our belief that the future of Jazz is now. Funded with support from Jazz North’s New Northern, a scheme to support emerging artists to expand their audiences in the North of England, the event offers a platform to new talented artists, including the first performance from the Lancaster Jazz Band, formed out of our work with Lancaster High School musicians.
Featuring:
Dobbö
Performing in Lancaster for the first time, Dobbö is a 21 year old multi-instrumentalist and producer making groove-based jazz fusion in the north of England. His sound can loosely be described as quirky, retro inspired fusion reminiscent of artists such as Herbie Hancock, Kiefer and Bob James.
Lancaster High School Jazz Band
Formed through a series of workshops delivered in collaboration with Lancaster Jazz Festival, More Music and Lancaster High School music department, this new band will make their first performance at this Ignite Showcase. A fantastic opportunity to support new artists from the local community.
