fter a three-year long wait, the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO) has released its latest studio album on streaming services.
Recorded in 2019 at the Air Studios in London, the album celebrates the contribution of women to jazz, featuring past, present and future jazz musicians.
Titled She Said, the album is comprised of a 24-piece NYJO Jazz Orchestra, with a line-up of emerging professional musicians aged 18–25. A group of younger musicians form NYJO’s London Academy were also involved in the project, and were able to gain experience alongside professional jazz musicians from multiple different generations, such as Norma Winstone, Georgina Jackson, Josephine Davies, Shirley Smart, Laura Jurd, Issie Barratt, Nikki Iles, and Yazz Ahmed.
