Tomorrow's Warriors

Pioneering talent development organisation and charity Tomorrow’s Warriors commissions and records music composed and performed by multiple generations of high-profile alumni who have come through its acclaimed £Free talent development programme. A black-founded and black-led organisation, Tomorrow’s Warriors offers a pioneering, comprehensive teaching and training programme; particularly championing young black and female talent and those who come from challenging circumstances. With the vision of creating collaborations that cross over generations of musicians and capture the essence of Tomorrow’s Warriors ethos ‘Each One, Teach One’, the music is released on the organisation's own The Sound Of Tomorrow's Warriors label in celebration of three illustrious decades, but also to help fundraise and sustain TW's acclaimed £Free talent development programme.  The Warriors alumni are a ‘who’s who’ of the hottest names in UK jazz and include Zara McFarlane, CHERISE, Camilla George, Cassie Kinoshi, Denys Baptiste, Nathaniel Facey, Sheila Maurice-Grey, Soweto Kinch, Mark Kavuma, Rosie Turton, Mark Crown, Shirley Tetteh, Ben Burrell, Binker Golding, Peter Edwards and Femi Koleoso. All of these alumni have created specially-commissioned pieces for the latest generation of young Warrior musicians to premiere at Tomorrow’s Warriors’ live I AM WARRIOR gigs at Jazz Café between 2019-2021, with many of the composers appearing as featured artists on their own pieces.
