LUME: Jazz Promoter
Find out more by visiting:
LUME is a place for original new work, encompassing elements of jazz, improvised and experimental music. We hope that it could also be somewhere for musicians to try out new ensembles or propose new collaborations. In discussion, we found that the word ‘lume’ was a useful signifier for what we feel the night’s ethos is: the act of illumination can be read in two different ways, both of which seem apt. So in one sense, the establishment of this performance space opens up an additional opportunity to showcase, to highlight new music and help spread the word about the exciting musical projects that are constantly emerging in this city and beyond. And at the same time, the music that is performed is in itself a collection of illuminations, of ideas that make themselves known in the mind of the composer or reveal themselves in the moment, on stage during an improvised set. The cartoon bulb suddenly lights up over the musician’s head! This is what we are presenting.
