Gary Crosby, artistic director of Tomorrow's Warriors says: ''Black lives have always mattered at Tomorrow’s Warriors and we celebrate and support black music culture and the rich cultural heritage of jazz. We call on all those who love and value music to support our #IAMWARRIOR annual appeal and continue making a difference to the lives of the next generation of under-represented young people coming through our programme, through COVID and beyond." The gig is at the Jazz Cafe in London's Camden Town, a venue that represents a deep place in Tomorrow's Warriors history. Tickets
