This month, NuDirections is Jazz from the UK – showcasing the exploding jazz scene from the new generation of very talented musicians and singers - their roots may have been in Garage, Jungle, Hip Hop, House, Dub and many more genres of music - this has all been brought to the Jazz platform and set it alight - I just can't wait for the lockdown to end.
