Marsden Jazz Announces Headliners for 2015

                                                             Jean Toussaint by Benjamin Amure

Marsden Jazz Festival has announced their Headliners for this year's
festival, running from 9-11 October. American saxophonist and member of
the seminal Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers Jean Toussaint leads this group
of headline acts, bringing his Blakey Project to the festival on
October 11th.

Also featured is clarinet player Evan Christopher, who brings his Django
a la Creole project with New Orleans banjo player Don Vappie. Evan was
featured in the Sunday Time's Top Jazz Albums of the year in 2014.
Bradford-born Arun Ghosh, fresh from his Jazz Instrumentalist of the
year award at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards, will appear with his
sextet.

The festival categorises their line-up into a number of different
strands and as well as the headliners, artists who will take part in the
New Stream section of the programme were also announced. This strand
features Apes Grapes, Laura Cole's Metamorphic, The Geordie Approach and
Lauren Kinsella.

Jean Toussaint’s time with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers inspired his career as a jazz musician so it will definitely be a highlight to see his performance dedicated to Art Blakey, 25 years after his death.

There’s always a great family atmosphere during the festival weekend and last year we had over 50 free events, as well as our headliners and New Stream gigs, so there really is something for everyone. - Barney Stevenson, Festival Director

Details on these acts and the entire festival can be found on the Marsden Jazz Festival website.
