About the Futures Scheme
The scheme has been set up to mentor and help three up-and-coming jazz musicians from the region as they develop their career as jazz musicians.
The scheme offers practical mentoring as well as a commission to write and record some new music for their chosen ensemble.
In 2010 they will be helped to make a tour around the Jazz Yorkshire region to showcase their current project. Leeds College of Music is a partner in the project.
