Jazz Connections: Everyday Lives
Library of Birmingham Foyer, Centenary Square, Birmingham B1 2ND
Friday 6th June - Thursday 28th August

An exhibition featuring photographs and quotes from musicians involved in the Birmingham jazz and improvised music scene opens on Friday at the Library of Birmingham. The material is from three collaborative research projects, which brought together jazz scholar Dr Pedro Cravinho & photographer Brian Homer. The combination of photographs and interview quotes provides distinct insights into how active members of the local jazz scene view themselves and the scene, and how they negotiate their lives while developing their professional, musical and other careers.



The launch on Friday, 1:30pm - 4pm includes a short presentation and discussion followed by a duo performance led by Sam Slater. The launch has been arranged so you can follow it up with the 5pm ‘Free Jazz Fridays’ performance by the RBC Jazz and Salsa Orchestra at Symphony Hall and then the Magpie Trio at 8pm at 1000 Trades.
