Established in 2008 by jazz/swing singer Todd Gordon, Jazz International has staged over 100 concerts in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness.
More recently, and in the absence of any financial subsidies, we have been focussing on occasional gigs in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Our aim, however, remains to present a wide variety of top quality jazz and jazz-related music in concert-style, listening venues. We extend a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported past concerts, and we look forward to welcoming you to future events.
Jazz International will be announcing new concert dates soon, so please join our mailing list (click on the 'mailing list' link above) and we'll keep you posted on developments. Meantime, tune into Britain's newest jazz station, UK Jazz Radio where Todd has joined the list of presenters alongside Jacqui Dankworth, Digby Fairweather, Frank Griffith, Tina May and Dave Gelly, etc. Check it out at: www.ukjazzradio.com
