Many of the programmed performances are exclusive UK dates, and it is definitely worth investigating the stroller tickets, which allow you to walk from venue to venue checking out a host of different performers.
The festival consistently attracts a top line-up and this year features Lee Konitz, Mark Murphy, Louis Hayes, Joe Temperley, Maceo Parker among many other international artists. Other highlights include Courtney Pine, Don Weller Big Band, Neil Cowley, Jason Rebello and The Blessing, all from the UK, and a long awaited return from Sir John Dankworth and Dame Cleo Laine who are presented with lifetime achievement awards.
