Cambridge Jazz Festival 2023

Cambridge Jazz Festival returns to showcase a wealth of local and global talent alongside a celebration of Jazz icons for two weeks in November.

As ever, there is an eclectic range of musical styles for all tastes and ages, including early and modern Jazz, Latin, Soul, Funk, Blues, and Rock. Alongside the headline concerts, the 2023 programme includes a series of recitals, an extensive fringe programme, instrumental and vocal workshops, Q&As with celebrated musicians, jam sessions, family events, and live painting from visual artist in residence, Gina Southgate.

One of the most anticipated events includes a performance from YOLANDA BROWN at Saffron Hall on 17 November. Double MOBO award-winner, broadcaster and passionate advocate for music education, the multi-talented saxophonist YolanDa Brown is one of the most dynamic and high-profile characters on the UK music scene. Her music is a delicious fusion of Reggae, Jazz and Soul.

Mobo awards-winners, INCOGNITO make a welcome return to the Festival on 16 November at the Cambridge Junction.

The Festival is also delighted to welcome the massively influential cult band, A CERTAIN RATIO at the Cambridge Junction on 17 November.
