Courtney Pine, above, and Dennis Rollins are to top the bill at this year’s Lancaster Jazz Festival.

Also appearing are the Peter Edwards trio, Elliot Galvin, the Paul Edis sextet, and saxophonist Samuel Eagles whose debut Next Beginning is released later in the autumn. The Lancaster festival, which runs from 18-21 September, has also commissioned Leo Geyer to write a new piece, which is to be performed by the young composer’s ensemble Khymerikal.
