Jamie cullum is like family at cheltenham Jazz festival. With his passion for music and insatiable desire to discover the brightest new things on the jazz scene he always brings something special to the programme.

this year he has chosen an eclectic selection of artists for his festival picks. these include saxophonist ravi coltrane (p.19), stylish jazzpop duo noisettes (p.23), BBc Sound of 2013 artist laura Mvula (p.16), Georgie fame, who is appearing in a special friday night is Music night celebration (p.17), and singing sensation Gregory Porter (p.22).
