The Love Supreme Jazz Festival will celebrate its fifth anniversary in 2017 with a three-day event jam packed with performances from a diverse cross section of jazz, soul and pop talent.

The first artist confirmed for next year’s event is 10-time Grammy-winner George Benson. One of the jazz world’s most successful artists, Benson cut his teeth working with the likes of Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard before going on to become a chart-topping international star. His varied career, which now spans over 50 years, has gone from strength to strength and this show at Love Supreme marks his only UK summer festival appearance.
