Under the direction of trombone virtuoso and composer ..Annie Whitehead.., the project forms part of the outreach programme of the Vortex Jazz Club. .. Each July a ..week long summer school.., directed by Annie Whitehead, is held at the ..Vortex Jazz Club.. in Dalston, London. This culminates with a performance at the club. ..
