Teignmouth Jazz and Blues Festival (Nov 17th-19th), apart from being one of the best value Festivals in the country, has a well-earned reputation as being eclectic and innovative. This year is no exception with a strong theme aimed at making jazz more inclusive to a wider audience. Several former rock but now jazz musicians revisit pop music of the past bringing. John Etheridge (ex Soft Machine) plays a tribute to Frank Zappa .Jason Rebello (Sting’s pianist) retains his throne as one the leading jazz pianists in the UK, Ben Crosland revisits Ray Davies. Louise Parker, Prita Grealy and Yvonne Hellin (RAY) variously give a ‘jazz edge’ to funk, hip hop, blues and contemporary pop .
With over thirty top class bands and a substantial fringe there is something for all tastes. Contemporary, gypsy, be-bop and vintage jazz are all there along with a similar wide array of blues bands.
Whether for a day out or the entire weekend Teignmouth with its traditional mild Autumn weather is just the place to enjoy the last of the summer wine by the sea.
