Description
The festival opens with a special gala dinner at Morgans Hotel on the Thursday evening, which will start the celebrations for the 75th anniversary of Swansea Jazz Club and the 80th birthday of festival patron, Sir Karl Jenkins, who will be the guest of honour.
The celebrations continue Friday when the Laurence Cottle All-star 16-piece Big Band go 'Back, Down the Road' to play special arrangements of Sir Karl's jazz music in two concerts. These will take place in the Festival Pavillion, outside the National Waterfront Museum at 6pm and 8.30pm, with an introduction at the start of each show by the composer himself.
The Festival Pavilion is the setting for the festival's further five ticketed concerts, featuring Denny Illet's Electric Lady Big Band playing funky jazz arrangements of Jimmy Hendrix's music.
