Info: Giacomo Smith co-leads the Clarinet Summit at our festival with Adrian Cox. In the past, they’ve played with Wynton Marsalis at the Jazz at Lincoln Centre Orchestra for the Benny Goodman celebrations both in London and New York, plus have collaborated on many a special gig together (the world of Kansas Smitty's was a very special one!)

Giacomo is an accomplished jazz clarinettist, saxophonist, and composer known for his distinctive sound and mastery of both traditional and contemporary jazz styles. Adrian is a leading exponent of the New Orleans clarinet and has an unrivalled feel for the music he plays. He possesses a wealth of knowledge about the music and players of the city, which we find unparalleled. 

Info: PLEASE NOTE: Everyone with a ticket to Joe Webb's gig (in addition to the Clarinet Summit) will need to exit and queue again. There will be a separate queue for ticket holders/pass holders to both gigs

Info: 2025 Mercury Prize nominee Joe Webb is a force of nature! An extraordinarily gifted pianist and improviser Joe, takes inspiration from the flavour of 90’s Brit-pop and adding references to his Welsh cultural roots, seamlessly blends traditional jazz with contemporary flair.
