The fourth edition of the Love Supreme Jazz Festival, which runs from 1-3 July, returns to its now firmly-established home in the bucolic south downs setting of Glynde Place, East Sussex, with Jazzwise as media partner, and features its winning mix of jazz, soul and funk headliners and a vibrant contemporary, UK-centric jazz line-up alongside international names.

Genre-busting Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf is also set to appear as is harmonically-daring vocal sensation Jacob Collier.
The strong contingent of UK talent booked so far also includes Jazzwise cover stars GoGo Penguin, singer/pianist Anthony Strong Quintet, the loud and lary Beats & Pieces Big Band, pianist/singer supreme Liane Carroll, guitarist Femi Temowo with Engines Orchestra plus Partikel’s String Theory Quartet, Binker & Moses, nu-jazzers Native Dancer, Riot Jazz Brass Band, Birmingham neo-soulstersTrope and an appearance by 6Music jazz DJ Gilles Peterson.
