Jazz Heritage Wales is launched
Jazz Heritage Wales - a registered charity formerly known as Women in Jazz Swansea - will be officially launched at its new home on Swansea Metropolitan University’s Townhill campus next Wednesday 5 May.
A recipient of the Diversity Wales Award in 2003, the organisation delivers programmes to schools under their remit of PARE (Performance Archive Research Education) and has taken the roots of jazz music back to the 1830s when Wales had active anti-slavery and abolitionist movements.
The Jazz Heritage Wales archive includes a collection unique to Wales, holding thousands of photographs, recordings, journals and periodicals, as well as paintings and stage gowns donated by some of the world’s greatest female jazz artists.
The launch event will include live music from the Women in Jazz Allstars Swing Band and the Paula Gardiner Trio.
