EFG LJF 2024 is taking shape – the organisers of the London Jazz Festival are putting out a series of monthly press releases during the summer with a “wave” of artists each time. The most recent, from the end of last week and after our weekly newsletter had been sent, is the third of four.
These releases, however, do not include the programmes from Ronnie Scott’s and Pizza Express’s venues, which also have some great names. Their shows are also now on sale, so, in addition to just copy/pasting the press release we have added these to the list from Serious press release, which also included the launch party on 16 September with China Moses, a ticketed event.
In the list below, the shows in bold are the ones newly announced and the Ronnie’s and Pizza shows.
