It was in 2010 when the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) first made a foray into jazz music with artistes like Diane Witherspoon. Then a year later, the institution organised its inaugural jazz festival. And now, after hosting numerous artistes from the genre in this intervening period, it has taken the step of forming its own jazz outfit, called The NCPA Jazz Collective.
