Be the first to see the future stars of British jazz – music development and performance collective Tomorrow’s Warriors jam in the Barbican Foyers as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.

No story about the revitalised London jazz scene is complete without mention of Tomorrow’s Warriors, the grassroots organisation founded by Gary Crosby, championing emerging talent and increasing opportunities within jazz. Their list of alumni is a who’s-who of the biggest names in the scene – graduates include Shabaka Hutchings, Soweto Kinch, Ezra Collective, Nubya Garcia, Binker & Moses and more.

Tonight they present Poppy Ajudha and Female Frontline vocalist Loucin Moskofian, whose solo project reflects on issues like marginalisation, identity and oppression; neo-bebop and jazz drill collective Hypernova; and Binker Golding tutees from Tomorrow’s Warriors Young Artist Development Programme, the Tomorrow's Warriors Quintet.
