mjf was the first festival to pioneer an open artists’ submission system and, with over 30% of our programming coming from these submissions each year, it still very much informs our work today. As a  contemporary jazz festival, we champion and prioritise:

• artists playing original work
• artists living & working in the north west of England
• diverse artists creating new & surprising music that we can platform

Artists who sent us music via Artists’ Submissions and who were then featured in mjf 2023 inlcude:

• Ni Maxine 
• Apollo House
• Good Habits
• Nishla Smith
• Charlotte Keeffe Quartet
• Emily Mercer
