Jay Rayner’s Hungry Jazz: The Great American (Foodie) Songbook may have pulled out of the Kings Place festival, more’s the pity, but the festival still manages to cram in ridiculously generous portions of jazz and much more besides at well over 100 events spilling out in just three days at the York Way venue in London near St Pancras station and St Martin’s art college. This year the festival runs from 13-15 September and besides jazz there’s lots of classical music, art and talks. Oddarrang, Slowly Rolling Camera, and Vive are first day highlights; while Saturday picks include singer Aimua Eghobamien, the Martin Speake trio, Nicolas Meier, and ECM band, Food. The Jason Rebello trio and Dave Stapleton’s Cellophony play on the Sunday. More at www.kingsplace.co.uk/festival
