Had such a wonderful time last week at the BBC Young Jazz Musician finals! Such an honour to play with Zoe, Alec and Sophie.
Huge congratulations to @ursa_grace and also @nilskavanagh and @george.johnson.sax ! So happy to have made new friends and get to play together (and maybe again with GUNK…)
You can watch the full show on BBC iPlayer.
