Jazz Daze

welcome to JAZZ DAZE

JAZZ DAZE is a story of musical self-discovery. Set in seventies West London to an original score by Dr Courtney Pine OBE, it features the vocal talents of Eska Mtungwesi and Maxi Jazz (from Faithless).

Follow the young Courtney as he prepares to take his first solo in the school band. Meet the inspiring characters who help him on this magical journey to discovering jazz music.

Expect to see some familiar names in unusual places, with characters like Miss Day and The Rabbit recalling jazz legends as the story unfolds.
