Funded by Creative Scotland, The J-Word plans to build a reputation for promoting great music to audiences who won't be put off by jazz's association with old men with beards and bellies but will instead focus on the music they've heard and will buy tickets for J-Word events in confidence that they'll have a good time regardless of who's playing. Tours featuring American band Yellowjackets and a trio comprising Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu, Cuban pianist Omar Sosa and Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu, with support from leading Scottish musicians, will launch the project in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Perth, Inverness and Fife early next year.
