Award winning J Steps is a ground breaking jazz ensemble for female and non-binary jazz musicians under the age of 18. Founded and directed by Hannah Horton, J Steps nurtures the talent of improvising young musicians with it’s main aim being to balance a historic lack of representation of women in jazz.

J Steps have performed at the EFG London Jazz Festival and at venues including Saffron Hall, Toulouse Lautrec and Jazz Cafe POSK. Rarely do you get to experience a teenage ensemble as authentic, musical and tight as this!

“Visionary organisation” 
“Student musicians inspiring” 
“J Steps is an example of what we can do to ensure the future of the music we love” 
– Maxine Gordon, wife of Jazz Saxophonist Dexter Gordon.
