Leicester Jazz is the brand name for jazz development activities funded by Leicester City Council and East Midlands Jazz. These activities aim to provide, support and encourage jazz and related music in Leicester and Leicestershire. Leicester Jazz is currently managed by The Y on behalf of a group of local Promoters and venues.

In 2005/6 we supported 14 live gigs and publicised 55 events across 18 venues through our seasonal leaflet. Our leaflet is distributed county wide, please contact us if you would like a copy. In response to growing interest we have also created this site!

Leicester Jazz is a member of East Midlands Jazz or EMJAZZ. This is an umbrella jazz development agency which comprises Leicester Jazz, Derby Jazz, Jazz Steps (Nottingham) and similar ventures in Lincoln and Northampton. EMJazz is funded by the Arts Council of England.
