Woodford students from all year groups were fantastically lucky on Monday to have the opportunity to enjoy a concert by the Jazz at Lincoln Centre Youth Orchestra – one of the world’s best young jazz bands, based at the Lincoln Centre in New York.
The band are currently touring London, performing at a few selected schools, as part of the Jazz at Lincoln Centre’s residency at the Barbican this week. Students enjoyed a professional-standard jazz concert – complete with some inspirational improvisation – as well as a Q and A session with director Tatum Greenblatt. We hope that the concert will have inspired students to get more involved in jazz at Woodford – through joining the Big Band or Junior Band – as well as to keep up their own instrumental practice as they aspire to similar greatness!
