We have been promoting the best in jazz in Coventry for thirty years. Our policy is to present a wide range of music from mainstream through Bebop to adventurous contemporary jazz. Artists appearing are the best available groups, usually active on London's jazz scene, and American and European musicians when available. Young emerging bands are regularly featured and groups presented are normally regular working bands rather than soloists plus rhythm sections.
Our Winter 2010 programme presents events at our regular venues, the Biggin Hall pub on Binley Road and Warwick Arts Centre at the University of Warwick.

It's like an act of murder - you play with intent to commit something.

HUGE respect to Sir John Dankworth, from all at Jazz Coventry. A true pioneer of our favourite art-form.

Interplay are to be joined for part of their 18th February gig by a special guest singer, Andra Sparks. See the event page for details.
Funding
We were very disappointed to hear that our Arts Council application was not successful. Feedback from the Arts Council was that although it was a strong application there were more applications than they could fund. Upon their recommendation we have submitted a further application and eagerly await a decision in a couple of months time. In the meantime we have three events at the Arts Centre and two at the Biggin Hall for the remainder of the January to March season. These can be funded from existing reserves. As we are reliant upon external funding to bring you top quality jazz at reasonable prices we are open to offers of sponsorship for individual events, either from individuals or companies. Please contact us via mooche@jazzcov.co.uk if you wish to help. Make sure to keep in touch with the website for further news and confirmation of the Biggin Hall event dates.
Good attendance figures are especially important in the current circumstance so please support us all you can.
Review
Conversely, we were extremely pleased to see this review of the Paul Booth/Ingrid Jensen gig that we presented in December. Praise indeed! If you are new to Jazz Coventry and have yet to experience the unique atmosphere that the Biggin Hall can conjure up then please read this and we’re sure you’ll be along soon!
