Cheltenham Soul Jazz Summit
Concert highlights from Cheltenham Jazz Festival鈥檚 inaugural Soul Jazz Summit, and jazz, funk and soul legend Lonnie Liston Smith鈥檚 inspirations.
Jumok茅 Fashola presents highlights from Cheltenham Jazz Festival鈥檚 inaugural Soul Jazz Summit. A celebration of soul, jazz and funk, the summit brings together over 80 musicians to pay homage to Duke Ellington, Aretha Franklin and James Brown. Guest stars including Kurt Elling, Madeline Bell, Vanessa Haynes and Tommy Blaize, plus Guy Barker鈥檚 Big Band and the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra.
Also in the programme, we hear from jazz, soul and funk legend Lonnie Liston Smith. Over his long career, Lonnie has worked with fellow greats Pharoah Sanders, Miles Davis, Gary Bartz and James Mtume to name a few. Internationally celebrated for his versatility, creativity and infectious grooves, he has inspired a generation of musicians to strive for musical expansiveness, exploration and spiritual healing. Here he shares some of the music that has inspired him, including a performance by John Coltrane that touches his soul and the Charlie Parker track that made him want to become a jazz musician.
