The Festival has invited nine of the world’s leading exponents of Swinging Jazz to come together and create a unique one-off event, playing in a number of different settings: Wilber with Alden; Temperley and Hamilton; Barnes and Hamilton with Duke Heitger flying the New Orleans flag …and then all together under Wilber’s baton. You’ll hear the music of Sidney Bechet, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young – some call it “The Golden Age Of Jazz”. The rhythm team features Edinburgh’s own Tom Finlay, and the sparkling swing drumming of Ed Metz.
