Jazz Africa: featuring Tony Kofi and Basil Hodge
Posted on 29th Mar 2023 by Thomas Kuglin
The next fundraising concert for the National Jazz Archive will be on Saturday 29 April in Loughton, Essex, as we celebrate UNESCO International Jazz Day!
Telling the story of jazz from where it really came from, we're proud to present the Basil Hodge Quintet featuring two of the UK's busiest and most exciting jazz performers, the irrepressible Tony Kofi on saxophone and the uber-cool Basil Hodge on keys.
This is the story of the diversity and inclusivity of jazz from across the African continent, where you'll hear the roots of blues, jazz, and almost all of today's modern musical sounds.
Expecting breath-taking musicianship, driving rhythms and some inevitable in-the-aisle dancing, this is one for families of all ages and heritages!
The fundraising concert is at Loughton Methodist Church, 260 High Road, Loughton, Essex, IG10 1RB. Doors open at 1.30pm with the concert starting at 2.30pm.
Tickets cost £20.00 and can be ordered by telephone from the Archive between 10.00am–1.00pm on 020 8502 4701.
Tickets may also be ordered on the WeGotTickets website with the addition of a small booking fee.
We look forward to welcoming you to Loughton. You can find directions to the Methodist Church using the map shown here. Parking can be found in the car park next to the nearby library and leisure centre on Traps Hill.
