EFG London Jazz Festival
Created in 1992, the EFG Jazz Festival is one of the hottest festivals in Europe. Every November, venues across the city are hosting over 300 concerts. And once again this year, the programming offers an immense number of new talents and big stars of the genre. The festival runs from November 15th to the 24th with the Festival Launch Party with China Moses at Lafayette at King’s Cross on the 16th. The Opening Gala with several vocalists will be at Royal Festival Hall on the 15th. The EFG London Jazz Festival Orchestra with conductor and arranger Guy Barker will play with different soloists, which still have to be announced. They will celebrate the music of label tastemakers Blue Note, Motown, Concord, or Impulse!
