Jazz Migration, created in 2002, is a program led by AJC, the jazz promoters network in France and in Europe, in order to respond to the issue of emergence and dissemination of young jazz musicians. Jazz Migration is today the only project for french emerging creative jazz musicians, that is offering the opportunity for them to build their careers, develop their skills and get their music out into the world.
The 4 bands were nominated through a election process opened for the first time to 90 promoters inside and outside AJC’s network (clubs, festivals, nationals theatres, cultural centres, etc).
These young artists will follow a training period until December 2016:
- a 3-day residency in their sponsor’s venue
- theoretical trainings
- meetings with foreign professionals
In 2017, the 4 laureates will be on tour in France and Europe, for more than 70 gigs!
If you are interested to participate to the tour, please contact AJC: tiphaniemoreau@ajc-jazz.eu
