Our Mission

Jazz North is the Strategic Development Agency for jazz in the North of England. Founded in 2012 Jazz North has established a national and international reputation in Artist Development, Sector Support and Learning & Participation.

A registered charity that has developed and supported the careers, practice and well-being of hundreds of artists, managers, venues, festivals and promoters over the years - Jazz North has a proud record of working with and on behalf of the northern jazz scene.

Jazz North works with marginalised groups with programmes focused on racial and gender equality, children and young people, as well as those from socio-economically deprived areas across Yorkshire, the North West and North East of England.
