Ashley Henry Trio and Phaze Theory are among the acts performing at the BBC Introducing showcase at the Manchester Jazz Festival.
Taking place at Manchester’s Band on the Wall on 31 July, the groups will be joined by fellow emerging talents Nérija and Cameron Vale.
Bands were asked to submit their music via the BBC Introducing Uploader. A team of BBC presenters including Radio 3’s Jez Nelson and Kevin Le Gendre, and 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson, then selected the best from the submissions.
Jez Nelson, presenter of BBC Radio 3’s Jazz On 3, said: ‘BBC Introducing has proved incredibly powerful at uncovering great talent across many music genres. Jazz is no exception. The Manchester Jazz Festival BBC Introducing event is a real highlight of the year - I’m always blown away by the quality of the acts that make it to the night.’
The evening will be presented by Jazz on 3 regular Kevin Le Gendre and recorded for future broadcast on the show.
