Edinburgh’s Jazz Fest launches programme
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 8 June 2011
Organisers of the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival have announced details about this year’s programme. The Scottish capital’s jazz fest traditionally coincides with the previews of Edinburgh’s mega-Fringe festival, though this year promoters have pulled the event forward into late July, making it more of a standalone event.
Among the artists due to appear during the ten day festival, which takes place from 22-31 Jul, are blues types Jack Bruce Robert Cray and James Litherland, and on the jazz side the likes of Trombone Shorty, Leroy Jones and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. Elsewhere in the programme you’ll find the Hidden Orchestra, Red Snapper, Vegas!, and Four Corners.
The full programme is now online at www.edinburghjazzfestival.com.
