EFG London Jazz Festival 2020 kicked off in serious style with Jazz Voice livestreamed in partnership with BBC from Cadogan Hall across the globe, as part of the EFG Elements Series, on Friday 13 November.
All six of the special guest vocalists came together for a moving finale of Guy Barker's arrangement of Bill Withers' classic track 'Lean On Me'. Enjoy this clip starring Cleveland Watkiss, China Moses, David McAlmont, Luca Manning, Vanessa Haynes, Zara McFarlane, Guy Barker, the EFG London Jazz Festival Ensemble, and host Jumoké Fashola.

'As is usual for the Jazz Voice gala, all six vocalists meet on stage for a finale – this time a balladic arrangement of Bill Withers’ Lean on Me – chosen for its ‘themes of friendship, community and interdependency’ that have more than their fair share of meaning in current times' (London Jazz News)
