The Malta Jazz Festival will run from July 21 to 23 and is to be set in the majestic Grand Harbour. This year there will be a broader musical palette which will involve musical styles that have a more immediate appeal, yet these will feature alongside the stricter jazz orthodox style that always has and always will play a prominent role in the Malta Jazz Festival (MJF).
As in the past, legendary names will grace the MJF with luminaries such as Percy Jones, Bill Bruford and Tim Garland sharing the stage with local artists Kris Spiteri and his band Noir and percussionist Renzo Spiteri. The original Blues Brothers lineup will create a soulful atmosphere together with Thabani, while the Alan Parsons Live Project will close the festival with a set of rock standards.
The Lineup for the 16th MJF is as follows:
Friday July 21st - The Original Blues Brothers feat. Eddie Floyd; Thabani; Noir
Saturday July 22nd - Bill Bruford’s Earthworks feat. Tim Garland; Tunnels feat. Percy Jones; Emily Bezar
Sunday July 23rd - Alan Parsons Live Project; Ian Ritchie’s Soho Project; Renzo Spiteri and special guests
Also for the first time in its history, the organisation of the Malta Jazz Festival (MJF) will be entrusted in private hands, those of NnG Promotions.
More information about the MJF can be obtained from the official MJF website www.maltajazzfestival.com
Tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks and be available from all The Matrix and Vodafone outlets as well as online.
