Planning some festival fun with Love Supreme 2019


Some big names have been announced for Love Supreme in July and I, for one, am making plans to check out the amazing Chick Corea. His 500 Miles High is one of my all-time favourite jazz tracks.
    The Love Supreme Festival has just announced another wave of acts confirmed to perform at this summer’s event, which returns to Glynde Place in East Sussex from 5-7 July 2019.
    For this, Love Supreme's seventh year, they'd already confirmed - alongside Chick Corea - Ms. Lauryn Hill, Gladys Knight, Jamie Cullum, Snarky Puppy and Kamaal Williams.
    The lineup now includes Grammy Award-winning Louie Vega, who will perform with his full Elements of Life band following a triumphant Royal Festival Hall performance earlier this year, Parisian electro-swing collective Caravan Palace, fiery New Orleans five piece Tank and the Bangas, Grammy-nominated pianist Christian Sands, soulful Australian quartet The Teskey Brothers, and two acts from the forefront of the thriving Chicago scene; drummer and producer Makaya McCraven, and trumpeter Marquis Hill’s Blacktet.
    There's also the brilliant Gogo PenguinMahalia, Brand New Heavies and Joe Armon-Jones. I'm also intrigued to hear vibraphonist Orphy Robinson, who will recreate Van Morrison’s seminal Astral Weeks album.
     All in all, this promises to be a great start to a musical summer.
