The programme for the 38th Glasgow Jazz Festival is announced, and tickets are now on sale. There is a host of Scottish stars, a long-awaited return of Bobby Watson, who was artist in residence in 1994, and appealing mix of different generations.

“We are delighted that some of the biggest names in jazz will be joining us this summer. With over 20 confirmed events spread across the city, the 38th festival is set to be another iconic edition of this annual event.
