About this Event
As part of the EFG Jazz Festival 2026 Tomorrow’s Warriors presents South-London raised bassist Genevieve Namazzi who brings her quartet, ‘GENTET’, to the Foyles stage.
Her performances captivate listeners, drawing them into her world of deep thought and reflection with upbeat grooves and heartfelt melodies. With influences stemming from modern jazz, modern classical, and from the East African diaspora, Genevieve’s compositions are fluid blends of genres and subject matters.
And her virtuosity as a musician saw her perform alongside Tomorrow’s Warriors alumna guitarist Shirley Tetteh and Beverley Knight in the critically acclaimed production of Marie and Rosetta.
From her debut in October 2025, to performing at Brick Lane Jazz Festival 2026 and We Out Here, Genevieve is looking forward to headlining her first London Jazz Festival show.
Thank you for your support. 70% of all proceeds goes to Tomorrow’s Warriors Trust (Registered Charity No 1153613) and helps support the next jazz generation.
