Brighton jazz festival Palace Pier shows include in the ticketed line-up appearances by Julian Siegel, the great Liane Carroll, Alan Barnes, Dave Newton, Howes3, Jackson Mathod, Mark Kavuma and the Banger Factory, Cherise, top, Terry Seabrook quintet and Qow Trio. Wiggy, aka London out of Nottingham sax ace Julian Siegel, is on flying form on John McLaughlin's recent Liberation Time on the dazzling 'Right Here, Right Now, Right On' and is a must if you haven't bowled up to hear him before. Cherise, grounded in the very sophisticated 1980s soul and quiet storm of Anita Baker, is just about the best jazz singer of her generation out of the UK at the moment. Free events include Fisher & Rae, an emerging talent showcase, the Jazz Futures Sax Quintet, New Generation Jazz Youth Orchestra and Adrian Kendon & the Bopstars Runs from 29 September-3 October.
