About

"At the Royal Conservatoire we are creating the future for performance.

We provide vocational education at the highest professional level in dance, drama, music, production, and screen. We offer an extraordinary blend of intensive tuition, world-class facilities, a full performance schedule, the space to collaborate across the disciplines, teaching from renowned staff and industry practitioners, and unrivalled professional partnerships.

As Artistic Director of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s first full-time jazz course, it is my sincere pleasure to present to you our very first graduating students.

Jazz is a serious music and is a conduit to understanding all musical art forms. Whenever young musicians open their imaginations to improvisation they then have a skeleton key to open the door to any musical genre. It takes talent and dedication for sure; but it also requires imagination, application and strength of character.

Now, the first ever full-time jazz course in Scotland can boast that it is taking purposeful steps towards stemming that exodus of jazz talent from our country. The five students on this recording have all evolved and matured as an ensemble throughout a demanding, but nevertheless hugely enjoyable four year jazz degree course. Here, they represent themselves with inventive, original compositions that certainly reflect their individual personalities. However, these tunes are also insights into their inspirations, aspirations and ambitions at the beginning of what we all hope are fruitful careers and an illuminating journey through jazz.

On the evidence of these recordings the future is bright. The future is Jazz."
Professor Dr Tommy Smith
Artistic Director of Jazz
