Jazz FM Celebrate Love Supreme Jazz Festival With Weekend Of Special
Programming
*Two-day broadcast to include exclusive lockdown sessions, archive
recordings, interviews and more*
Jazz FM has announced Love Supreme Revisited, two days of programming
dedicated to the Love Supreme Jazz Festival.
Taking place this Saturday July 4th and Sunday July 5th, on what would
have been the 2020 festival weekend, the station’s output will include
live recordings of classic performances from over the years including
from the likes of George Benson, Caro Emerald, Jamie Cullum, GoGo
Penguin, Laura Mvula, Average White Band, Ezra Collective, Mr Jukes and
many more.
Running alongside archive performances and interviews will be a series
of exclusive lockdown sessions plus a recreation of the festival’s
popular opening night DJ party featuring live sets from John Osborne,
Anne Frankenstein and Tony Minvielle.
Ciro Romano, Love Supreme Festival Director:
“It feels strange to not be in Glynde Place. Any other year we would
be getting ready to welcome artists & audiences for another incredible
weekend at Love Supreme Festival. However, it has been a real joy
working with Jazz FM to take the time to reflect on all the incredible
music we’ve had at the festival over the years. We hope that these
programmes allow those who’ve been before to remember the good times
and those who’ve not made it yet get a taste of just how special the
festival has become.”
Nick Pitts, Content Director of Jazz FM:
“For the life of Love Supreme, Jazz FM’s listeners – along with the
entire of the on-air and backroom team – have looked forward to and
enjoyed the delights of a weekend in Glyde Place of live music. This
year, a collective Love Supreme Festival fix was more important than
ever, and with our unrivalled archive of interviews and stage recordings
that date back to 2013, it made total sense to work closely once again
with the festival team to create something rather special as a one
off.”
