Jazz & The City
London may be feeling a little gloomy this time of year, but there were no blues to be seen at London Jazz Festival.
Taking place in 53 venues across the capital, 290 events have been in full swing. But many of the events are free of charge. Renowned pianist Gwilym Simcock is one artist to play at such an event.
At St James’s Church in Piccadilly, Mr Simcock gave a lunchtime concert where he showcased his musical fusion of jazz and classical.
He seemed unsure about the future of jazz for the younger generation. But jazz singer Michael Mwenso at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Cafe in Soho appeared optimistic. “Jazz in grounded in individuality,” he said, “And young people really respond to that. It’s beautiful.”
