Women In Jazz

2025 is ‘The Year of Women In Jazz’, a transformative 12-month programme that brings together new music, live performances, talks and mentorship to highlight the incredible talent within the Women In Jazz community. A project that’s the result of rigorous and ongoing research conducted within our community last year, focusing particularly on the roles and challenges for women in the UK Jazz scene. 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.
