The Story of Leeds Jazz
A brand new 6 part documentary funded by Leeds Inspired
Supported and funded by Leeds Inspired, part of Leeds City Council, this six part podcast series is a discovery of how Leeds became a centre for UK Jazz and how it continues to have an exciting and thriving scene today. It shares the stories of often overlooked artists and influencers who have contributed so much to the scene and celebrates the music of Leeds Jazz from the 1950's right through to today’s emerging artists.
