Each set will be followed by a live interactive Q&A with the artists.
Tamsin Mendelsohn, Manager at Jazz South, said: “Jazz South is delighted to be supporting New Generation Jazz in profiling and supporting such an exciting selection of rising talent from the region through the Cinematic Live Weekender. Filming at local venue, the Ropetackle Arts Centre in Shoreham, New Generation Jazz’s high quality cinematic broadcasts will capture the very best emerging bands, bringing these talented artists to jazz fans everywhere.”
