As with previous editions of Jazz in the Loft, Bristol Jazz Festival joins forces with the Bristol Jazz Institute to present a workshop alongside the main performance.

This time, musicians of all backgrounds and instruments — brass, woodwind, rhythm section, steel pans and vocalists —a re invited to take part in the Calypso Jazz Workshop, an afternoon session led by Dennis Rollins. Participants will delve into the vibrant rhythms of Caribbean calypso and ska, reimagined through a jazz perspective.

Those taking part in the workshop will later be invited to join Rollins and his band on stage as part of the evening performance. Tickets are available separately for the workshop and the concert, or as a combined package for both sessions.

Attendance at one does not require attendance at the other.
Capacity for this event is limited, and tickets are expected to sell quickly. Full
booking details are available at www.bristoljazzfestival.co.uk/events.
