The EFG London Jazz Festival is by far the country’s biggest, with dozens of events taking place across the city. Alongside the Barbican and the Southbank, the world’s greatest jazz musicians will storm Cadogan Hall, King’s Place and a whole host of smaller spaces. This year promises to be really special, as the EFG celebrates 25 years of bringing jazz to the London masses.

From the classic to the experimental, all kinds of jazz will reverberate around the capital. But if you can't wait until November, the curator and brains behind the festival has promised and exciting programme of jazz acts at various locations to keep you going until then.
