EMERGENCE is our evolving space for new sounds from the worlds of jazz and beyond.
Sometimes a standalone gig, sometimes a week-long festival, sometimes something different altogether. But always a stage for what's emerging on the artistic outskirts and ready to demand our attention.
It's also a regular slot at our monthly Jazz In The Round - A dedicated part of every programme, bringing fresh talent into our regular line-up.
EMERGENCE ARTISTS @ JAZZ IN THE ROUND:
2024: Alfie Dean's Platforms Quartet, Cityscape Ensemble, Mejedi Owusu, Donovan Haffner, Luke Bacchus, Joseph Leighton
2023: Sultan Stevenson, The Fergus Quill Trio, Allexa Nava, Luke Purbrick Trio, Lomna, Miles From Nowhere, Oscar Lyons, Francesca Ter-Berg & Chelsea Carmichael, Maddy Coombs
EMERGENCE HISTORY
First held in 2018 at St Mary In The Castle in Hastings, and then enjoying a quarterly slot at The Cockpit (Jazz In The Round’s London home), Emergence has become an important space for new voices. In 2021 we took Emergence back to the seaside for a weekend at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. In 2022 we took over The Fox & Firkin in Lewisham and in 2023 we hosted a string of "Poetic Experiments for a New World" with Emergence's 5 day Re-Enchant festival. For ten years, Jazz In The Round has been proud to be a part of London’s jazz scene, presenting, recording and broadcasting the stream of evolving talent supported superbly by initiatives like Total Refreshment Centre, Jazz Refreshed and Tomorrow’s Warriors, whilst also running guest stages at Love Supreme, Kings Place and The Roundhouse.
