ABOUT EFG LONDON JAZZ FESTIVAL
The EFG London Jazz Festival is the capital’s biggest pan-city music festival, taking place annually in November, which has long been acclaimed for showcasing a heady mix of talent from around the world. Widely acknowledged for delivering world-class artists and emerging stars, the Festival continues to take jazz to a massive audience, in one of UK’s landmark music events. Following an exceptional edition last year, EFG London Jazz Festival returns with a programme of live performances by an electrifying lineup of global stars, special collaborations, and the finest and freshest music. On Thursday 17th November 2022 it is with great pleasure that we welcome Roella Oloro to the living room stage.
** ABOUT JAZZ RE:FRESHED **
Thursdays at Ninety One Living Room are presented by Jazz Re:freshed.
Jazz re:freshed as a music movement started with a humble vision in early summer 2003. Its intention, to challenge the elitism and prejudice within the jazz community that had kept jazz on the sidelines far too long, whilst bringing the incredibly diverse, colourful, expressive and creative world that is jazz to the people – live, fun and affordable. Perhaps the most important aim was and still is, to promote underexposed music and artists deserving of the widest recognition.
Whilst hosting a live weekly residency in Ninety One Living Room, Jazz Re:Freshed functions as a record label, festival, film club, band development programme, club night, workshops and more.
**ABOUT ROELLA OLORO**
Roella first moved to London in 2017 to study at Trinity Laban, and quickly got involved with London’s vibrant scene, performing at venues such as Ronnie’s Scott’s and Pizza Express. As a composer, she has written for a variety of different ensembles. One of her first pieces for big band, Cruisin, was played at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016.
In Summer 2018, she was offered a full scholarship to study at Berklee College of Music after attending the school’s 5- Week Performance Programme. Thanks to a rigorous fundraising campaign and much help from the music education network Tomorrow’s Warriors, she now attends the school. She recently won the International Society of Jazz Arrangers and Composers prize for Emerging Black Composers. In May 2022, she travelled to Austin, Texas to accept her award and perform with the 17-piece jazz orchestra that was provided.
Whilst at Berklee she has received tutelage from exceptional professors such as NEA Jazz masters Terri Lyne Carrington and Joanne Brackeen and Grammy-nominated saxophonist Tia Fuller. This past spring semester, she studied with Esperanza Spalding at Harvard as part of Spalding’s Black Improvisational Music and Dance class.
Over the course of the pandemic, Oloro was a BBC Young Musician 2020 semi-finalist, a Jazz South UK grant recipient, appeared on Decca Records’, Alone Together Jazz piano album, on British TV as part of Jazz 625, the British Jazz Explosion, and released her first single entitled Sacrificial Lamb.
