Scarborough Jazz Festival 2015
The Scarborough Jazz Festival 2015 will take place between 25-27th September. Featuring some of the greatest names in Jazz, performing in the beautiful backdrop of Scarborough Spa.
Again we have a mix of well-established performers, chosen because I feel their jazz is continually developing, and younger bands with a diversity of musical agendas. Big sounds will come from the 26-piece Engines Orchestra, led by Phil Meadows, and Beats & Pieces.
There’s some strong vocal jazz. Ian Shaw, a long time festival favourite, is joined by the world class trumpeter Guy Barker. Recently on the scene and making a great impression is singer Ben Cox and from the North we are delighted to have the charismatic Zoe Gilby. Our cover picture is the superb vocalist Vimala Rowe, a member of the intriguing Jazz @ Café Society project....

Our cover picture is the superb vocalist Vimala Rowe, a member of the intriguing Jazz @ Café Society project.
We have some very classy musicians from the USA: Jean Toussaint (ex Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, McCoy Tyner, Gil Evans, Horace Silver …); Darius Brubeck, highlight of a previous festival; two New York stars making up pianist Barry Green’s trio; and Michael Janisch, who has done so much to promote jazz links between America and the UK, with Paradigm Shift.
Our compere will again be Alan Barnes who will join up with pianist Dave Newton and saxophonist Tony Kofi to display his usual inventive versatility. Add flautist Gareth Lockrane’s cracking Grooveyard Unplugged and the unusual tongue-in-cheek Pigsfoot and I hope there is enough variety and quality to please everyone.
The morning swim awaits you!
