Welcome to the 2012 Edition of the Dundee Jazz Festival.

From Friday 16th until Sunday 25th November, major international names and Scottish stars appear at the Gardyne Theatre spanning most styles of jazz including blues, soul, funk and big band and latin.

What’s more, we’ve decided to price the tickets with an unbelievable cap of £12. All seats are reservable, so book early to get thebest ones, and before the show sells out. As a further incentive, buy tickets for two different shows and save £2.

Local Jazz DJ Alan Steadman involved as programmer has helped to pull off the exclusive coup of reuniting the “Dundee Horns” for a three night residency. Malcolm “Molly” Duncan and Roger Ball formed part of the line-up of the original Average White Band.

Check out Tay AM’s Jazz Waves on Friday 9th November at 8pm for Alan Steadman’s full Festival preview.
