Kim Macari is an artist-activist who believes in improvisation as a vital form of creative expression, empowerment and freedom.
Her favourite mediums are graphic scores, trumpet playing and spoken word. She is currently programmer at Vortex Jazz Club, Chair of Jazz Promotion Network and works for Arts Council England. 
Camilla George dubbed “the golden girl of jazz” (Jane Cornwell- The Evening Standard) is an acclaimed saxophonist whose love of fusing African and Western music to create her own unique style is a key reason why she is a firm fixture on London’s New UK Jazz Scene.
Camilla’s music is politically minded and heavily linked with African history and slavery. |
