www.edinburghjazzfestival.com 19 - 28 July 2013 Jazz and Blues of all styles, for all ages, and appealing to everyone, will take over the centre of Edinburgh for 10 days from July 19-28, as the 35th Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival comes back to town for another celebration of good time, old time, funky, swinging, cutting edge, dance, intense art, total relaxation... There’ll be great nights out at Festival Theatre, party atmospheres at the Spiegeltent, top performers playing at the Queen’s Hall, a cool new modern jazz club at 3 Bristo Place, a traditional haven at the Royal Overseas League, an all day Festival club at the Tron Kirk, and a new programme strand – Cross the Tracks – where the Festival checks in to musics on, or just over the stylistic border. This brochure gives you the full programme and there are more details at www.edinburghjazzfestival.com. Among many highlights are the Edinburgh Jazz Festival Orchestra presenting the inspirational concert of Sacred Music by Duke Ellington; the great American pianist and singer Champian Fulton making her festival debut, one of a host of young players of classic jazz styles; Muddy Waters’ Centenary with his son Mud Morganfield, and we welcome, amazingly for the first time The 3 Bs with Chris Barber, Acker Bilk and, taking the place of his father, Kenny Ball, sadly departed: Keith Ball. The Festival gets the summer Festival season started with a bang, by bringing colour, music and entertainment to the streets and parks of Edinburgh, presenting The Mardi Gras and The Edinburgh Festival Carnival. We look forward to welcoming old and new friends. We have a great line up this year with something for everyone.
