The festival is created by a partnership of Neapolitan Music, Jazz FM and Ingenious Media Entertainment who have appointed Serious, producers of the London Jazz Festival and numerous jazz tours, as programme consultants. The line-up is to be announced shortly and, according to the organisers, will feature core and cutting-edge jazz artists, crossover jazz musicians and great names from the worlds of soul, blues and funk.

Richard Wheatley, chief executive of Jazz FM, said: “Jazz FM is delighted to be supporting the Love Supreme Jazz Festival, we are confident that it will be a warmly welcomed newcomer to the UK’s great festival scene. We are all delighted to be working with the highly experienced team at Serious, whose impressive track-record in programming jazz events will help us achieve our ambition that Love Supreme becomes known as one of Europe’s leading jazz festivals.”
