Glasgow Jazz Festival has announced its line-up to celebrate the 30th running of the festival.

It will take place in various venues across the city from 22 June including the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, City Halls, The Old Fruitmarket, St Luke’s and The Hug and Pint.

Glasgow singer Carol Kidd performed at the first Glasgow Jazz Festival and will be back in St Luke’s on 25 June.

Vibraphonist Joe Locke and his Quartet will also be playing in the Old Fruitmarket on 26 June.

They will be supported by jazz quartet Square One and, coming from a two week Coachella residency, tenor saxophonist Kamasi Washington, who will be playing the Queen Margaret Union on 27 June.

The saxophonist Alfred “Pee Wee” Ellis, one of the key members of James Brown’s band in the 1960s and co-writer of hits such as “Cold Sweat”, will join Glasgow’s modern funk pioneers Federation of the Disco Pimp.

Jazz trumpeter Ryan Quigley and his Big Band will be joined by Hamish Stuart, of Average White Band, for a collaborative concert at the Old Fruitmarket on 24 June.

Grahame Skinner, formerly frontman of Hipsway, will also perform his take on Frank Sinatra’s concept album, Watertown, written by Bob Gaudio of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

Skinner has given the cult album an electronic make-over for this year’s Glasgow Jazz Festival.

To mark the 30th anniversary, the festival is celebrating some of the up-and-coming musicians within the Scottish Jazz Scene today by naming “30 Under 30” – a collection of young Scottish Jazz musicians making waves in the global music scene.

Jill Rodger, director of Glasgow Jazz Festival, said: “We are very excited to be launching the 30th Glasgow Jazz Festival.

"I can’t wait to introduce the array of exciting big name artists to the Glasgow Jazz Festival stage, to welcome back old friends and showcase some fantastic new, one-off collaborations.

"I am especially looking forward to celebrating the “30 Under 30” musicians – the collection of young Scottish Jazz musicians making a big impression on the international Jazz scene today.

"It is vitally important to recognise the next generation of musicians and one of the key themes of this year’s festival is looking forward to the exciting next 30 years that the Glasgow Jazz scene has to offer."
