Deep dive into the history of jazz around the world through these three screenings in response to EFG London Jazz Festival 2023. 

As is tradition, Jazz on Screen is back during EFG London Jazz Festival with three rarely seen films that shine a cinema light on some of the modern jazz legends in an era of change and creativity, the 1950s and 60s.

These three films bounce around the world, and include various special introductions with writer, comedian and documentary filmmaker Stewart Lee about the avant-garde, free jazz movement, and film curator, critic and filmmaker Ehsan Khoshbakht.

Khoshbakht discusses Sven Klang’s small dance band which explores a clash between tradition and innovation, and the power of music to shape destinies.
