The Show
Emma Rawicz and Fraser Smith – Weds 8th February 2023, 8pm.
One year on from their triumphant Festival Weekender, New Generation Jazz is back at the Ropetackle Arts Centre with the Festival Roadshow! Taking place across three Wednesday nights in February, it’s our chance to see six of the most exciting up-and-coming artists on the UK jazz scene. Each night includes a pair of double headline acts in the auditorium, plus free events in the foyer brought to you by the Jazz Futures educational programme.
Emma Rawicz
The young, multi-award winning saxophonist and composer is already making waves on the UK music scene. Described as “An astonishing new talent” (Jamie Cullum – BBC Radio 2), ‘a force to be reckoned with’ (Jazzwise) and ‘a fast-rising star’ (London Jazz News), Emma is a natural performer. Her music uniquely fuses her many influences, and her compositions range from lilting Afro Cuban inspired grooves to hard hitting modern jazz and funk numbers.
Fraser Smith
With a focus on swing, Fraser channels the sound and language of the big Tenor men. His music hark back to the golden ages of jazz, from 40s Kansas City through to 60s New York. Born in Birmingham, raised between the Midlands and Wales, Fraser began playing sax at the age of 15. He first came upon the music of Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong and Ike Quebec via the Woolworth’s bargain bucket, and after studying hundreds of these solos, he considers himself a ‘practical scholar’, bringing these sounds of a bygone era into the modern stage.
There will be pre-show live music in the foyer from 7-8pm.

About The Ropetackle Arts Centre
Situated on the banks of the River Adur in Shoreham-by-Sea, Ropetackle Arts Centre is a multi-award winning, purpose-built venue presenting some of the biggest and best performing arts events in the UK.
Their friendly atmosphere, quality programme, and intimate performance space combine to make every event a memorable one. From live music to comedy, family theatre to film, workshops to literary events – and all things in-between – they have something to suit all tastes and budgets.
A registered charity run by a small team of professionals supported by 80+ volunteers, Ropetackle is an arts and entertainment hub at the heart of the community. They work with a range of local and national organisations to bring the widest range of arts activities to as many people as possible.
They believe the arts are important for everyone: for children, whose imaginations and language skills are developing, for adults who want to be uplifted and inspired, and of course, for artists and performers who bring so much talent to each show.
They have a superbly equipped auditorium seating up to 200, or 350 standing. They have a multi-purpose mezzanine space for classes and activities, plus a large, light and airy foyer and café, alongside two well-stocked bars.
