The Insider #8: Sebastian Scotney (London Jazz News)

The Jazz Session

Sebastian Scotney is the editor and founder of London Jazz News, an online site that publishes a daily ?ow of news, previews, reviews and interviews. The archive of published articles now stands at over 8,000 pieces, and the publication involves a substantial team of contributors. Seb is also a freelance writer who has penned reviews for the Artsdesk, liner notes for artists like Lars Danielson, biographies for musicians like Michael Wollny, and was a feature contributor to Jazz Line-Up on BBC Radio 3 from 2015 to 2017. I should also add that he loathes the verb “penned” yet I am using it in defiance!
