| 2007 Aberdeen Jazz Festival The Fourth Aberdeen Jazz Festival will take place from the 7th to 11th March 2007. The festival has steadily grown into a significant event in the Scottish jazz scene and become one of Aberdeen's main annual festivals. Over thirty performances at large and small venues across the city will ensure something for everyone. Venues this year include the Aberdeen Music Hall, the Lemon Tree and the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre. International stars coming to perform include the acclaimed guitar virtuoso Martin Taylor who will be appearing with jazz singer Alison Burns, New York's pre-eminent vibraphonist Joe Locke, the first lady of Swedish jazz Viktoria Tolstoy and the effervescent BBC Big Band with velvet voiced Elaine Delmar. Leading lights of the contemporary London jazz scene Gwilym Simcock, Polar Bear and the Neil Cowley Trio lend a real cutting edge to this year's line-up line-up. Add some South American rhythms courtesy of Venezuelan pianist Leo Blanco to the mix, along with a cool blast of acid jazz by way of Orange Alert from Chicago, and the Aberdeen Jazz Festival 2007 is truly catering for the taste of all jazz lovers. The month of March is a great time of year to visit Aberdeen. As well as great jazz sounds there are fine restaurants to dine in, cosy hotels and guest houses to stay in and lots to do whether you wish to visit the city's great shopping centres or just relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery on our doorstep. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
