Led by double bassist Ed Babar, Blues and Roots Ensemble is a charity that specialises in sharing the music by the great bandleader/composer, Charles Mingus, through concerts and education projects. A diverse nonet of top international musicians from South Africa to Sicily, India to Cuba, the band has quickly grown a reputation for its captivating and raucous performances, as well as new initiatives in creative teaching and outreach work.
The band has performed sell out shows at prestigious venues including The Jazz Cafe, EFG London Jazz Festival at the Southbank, Cambridge Jazz Festival, The Vortex, and The Elgar Room at The Royal Albert Hall.
The education workshops use Mingus' music as a catalyst for actively exploring the concepts of jazz music and of capturing creativity in music. The ethos of the Mingus education strand is that music is the medium enabling people of all musical abilities to have voice to express themselves.
Blues and Roots Ensemble has led education workshops in all contexts, from mainstream primary and secondary schools, SEN schools, Pupil Referral Units to large outreach projects with London Jazz Festival and Cambridge Jazz Festival.
