You couldn't call Glastonbury a jazz festival at all. But get your magnifying glass out and you will see that there are a few jazz artists on the 2022 bill this coming weekend. While planned TV coverage is extensive it will be interesting to tune in to discover how many of these jazz acts will feature in prominent slots. Big names to appear include jazz icon Herbie Hancock and the Weather Report of the early-21st century, Snarky Puppy. Also on are sax star Nubya Garcia above, multi-instrumentalist / vocalist Emma-Jean Thackray and the band Nubiyan Twist from among the wave of newer UK names to have built up strong followings and clocked up record sales in recent years.
