Live performance by Mambo Jambo with members of Hull Samba at the Albemarle Music Centre for the Hull Jazz Festival.
Mambo Jambo are playing the Albemarle Music Centre on Sunday 15 November, joined on stage by members of Hull Samba. It's part of the Hull Jazz Festival, which is produced by J-Night, one of the leading producers of world jazz in the North of England. They've run summer and winter editions since 1992, and since then they've put on over 1,300 shows, worked with more than 7,000 musicians, and reached audiences of over 260,000. J-Night has been a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England since 2011, was funded by the council since 2005, is a founder of Jazz North and the Jazz Promotion Network, and supported Hull 2017 UK City of Culture.
From 2026, the Albemarle Music Centre becomes the festival's new home and the hub of its umbrella strategy, 'Out of the Box'. The centre itself opened in October 2007 on the site of the original Albemarle, which was demolished to make way for the St Stephen's shopping, hotel and leisure complex. These days it houses rehearsal and teaching rooms for 15 Hull ensembles, so it's a working space for the city's music as much as a venue for the public.
