Women in Jazz

Women In Jazz Takeover

Women have always played an integral role in shaping the history of Jazz, yet represent only 5% of instrumentalists in Jazz UK.

We exist to celebrate and showcase the music and stories of women, to inspire the next generation of talent.

Our community is made up of 10,500 people; from singer-songwriters to producers, instrumentalists and composers.  

The Women in Jazz team of highly experienced creatives direct, produce and execute projects focusing on music, storytelling and real-life experiences. 

We have access to the top female artists in music of today; from Brit-award winning artist Celeste, to emerging drummer and composer Jas Kayser. 

We have produced radio shows for Sky TV, Jazz FM and British Airways, run panel discussions at Love Supreme Festival, programmed live events at Ronnie Scotts, and directed and produced our YouTube show ‘Uncovered’, which spotlights the most exciting female talent from across the UK.
