Jazz @ Leckford Place

Jazz @ Leckford Place (formerly called Some of that Jazz!) is a creative and fun course which aims to extend the unique excitement and skills of Jazz playing and improvisation to younger players.

The underlying idea is that a journey into the world of Jazz, with its richness of rhythms and its emphasis, within a highly disciplined structure, on a freer, more improvisational approach to music-making can be both terrific fun and musically enriching. It can also greatly enhance the classical training that most of the participants may be having.

Jazz @ Leckford Place is now in its seventh year. It runs twice a year, in the February half-term and again during the summer holidays in the penultimate week in August. It has developed a strong following over the years, and we are delighted each time to welcome a combination of new faces and others who have taken part in the course on one or more occasions in the past and whom we have seen grow and develop as musicians over that time.
