The roots of jazz are firmly embedded in African culture. From that tradition, the music has expanded and been absorbed by other cultures and countries. From its birth in the USA, the music has grown to embrace the world and in doing so has developed in new and exciting ways. This show features all new innovative releases from predominantly the States but also taking in European, Asian and Latin American musicians.
