Good morning members — to celebrate the reopening of arts venues and cultural life, we are going to do a few newsletters over the next month that help you to decide what to go and see.

Today’s guide focuses on the city’s Jazz scene, and it’s by a first-time Mill writer called Hugh Morris, who knows this world inside out. He starts with a mini-interview with the Manchester group Secret Night Gang, and then goes on to describe what kinds of Jazz are having a moment. He ends with a really useful list of recommended gigs you can see locally in the next few months.

If you missed yesterday’s briefing, including our very exciting announcement about The Tribune in Sheffield, you can find it online here.
