Cheltenham Jazz Festival

Jamie has highlights from this year鈥檚 digital festival, and is joined by fellow musician and Radio 2 colleague Cerys Matthews to talk about her love of jazz

Cheltenham Jazz Festival is always a highlight of the musical calendar for Jamie Cullum - in fact, 2021 should have seen his tenth appearance there before the pandemic intervened...again! Whilst jazz fans couldn't flock to the annual West Country extravaganza in person, the festival moved online, bringing a host of great live streamed concerts to fans everywhere.

To celebrate and reflect on a weekend of great music, Jamie is joined by fellow musician and Radio 2 presenter Cerys Matthews - who has been a regular at Cheltenham in the past and co-hosted this year's digital coverage.

Renowned for her eclectic musical passions, Cerys gets into her relationship with jazz - her most loved artists, what鈥檚 on her radar now and who鈥檚 excited her on the 2021 Cheltenham Jazz Festival lineup.

Jamie also picks his live highlights from this year鈥檚 festival and some favourite live tracks from previous years, including a classic duet of his.
