The Hull Jazz Festival Weekend, which runs from 28-30 August ahead of the late summer bank holiday Monday, features five main concerts that all take place in the Hull Truck Theatre main auditorium and comprise Ray Gelato and The Giants (28 Aug, 7.30pm), Omar Puente’s Cuba Sextet (29 Aug, 2.30pm), Empirical Tribute to Cannonball Adderley (29 Aug 5pm), Courtney Pine Tradition In Transition band (29 Aug. 8.30pm) and Carol Kidd with her musicians (30 Aug. 7.30pm).

The festival will be mounted in the brand new, purpose-built Hull Truck Theatre building in Hull's city centre which opened back in the spring. The building, which takes over from the previous Hull Truck premises, has a 440-seat auditorium and a 134-seat studio, as well as bars, a café and educational facilities. A series of J-Night jazz gigs is currently running at the venue, including Salserosa (17 July), Junior Jazz Giant Steps (24 July) and Liane Carroll (31 July).
