What’s new

London Jazz Festival From concert halls to pubs, clubs and churches, hosting stars and styles of all sorts, it kicks off with a gala celebration of the Jazz Voice at Royal Festival Hall. There are also such eminent attractions as the saxophone-piano duo of Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau, Scandinavian icon Jan Garbarek, Britain’s vocal queen Norma Winstone, celebrating her 75th birthday, and pianist Gwilym Simcock accompanying an Alfred Hitchcock silent film, with the legendary Wayne Shorter bringing the curtain down with his quartet (November 11–20, www.efglondon jazzfestival.org.uk).
