Taking place this Saturday 4 July and Sunday 5 July, on what
would have been eighth edition of the Love Supreme Jazz Festival
weekend, the Jazz FM’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 commented on the broadcast version of the event: “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.”
