The UK will be buzzing in 2024, with local venues continuing to offer great artists and some great jazz festivals already announcing their artists.
Rich Mix's Brick Lane Jazz Festival will be one of the first, in April, swiftly followed by Cheltenham Jazz Festival and both Watford and Manchester Jazz Festival in May, July's Love Supreme and right through to next November's EFG London Jazz Festival.
We'll have to wait a few weeks into the New Year for the real announcements, but Cheltenham has released an exciting programme, with tickets just going on sale for some great acts. Snarky Puppy, Courtney Pine, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Afro-Jazz innovators Nubiyan Twist, UB40, Jack Savoretti and Morcheeba are all available.
“This first release of tickets for our exciting 2024 programme offers in miniature the breadth and depth that Cheltenham Jazz Festival aims for every year,” says Ian George, Head of Programming for the Jazz Festival and co-CEO of parent charity Cheltenham Festivals. “We celebrate all the genres that have jazz in their DNA by bringing the best of contemporary UK, US and European jazz to our Big Top and other venues,” he added.
Announcements from Love Supreme include Chaka Khan, Kool & The Gang, Jordan Rakei, Christian McBride and Cécile McLorin Salvant,
Watch this space as more announcements are made and we start packing for the various festivals of jazz around the country.
