This year the world famous HSBC Brecon Jazz celebrates its 25th anniversary and S4C will be there to bring you the best of the celebrations.
Lisa Gwilym and Rhodri Owen will be presenting the festival highlights including performances by some of the big names from the world jazz fraternity as well as the best of the Welsh jazz scene. The legendary Joan Armatrading, saxophonist Maceo Parker and pianist Julian Joseph will feature alongside home grown talent Cerys Matthews and phenomenal young pianist Gwilym Simcock, who is already being compared to Keith Jarrett.
There will also be a special documentary programme celebrating the contribution made by the festival to the Welsh music scene over the last 25 years. Featuring contributions from some of the rising stars of the Welsh jazz scene including Osian Roberts, Burum and Huw Warren we'll learn how the festival was instrumental in opening the ears and minds of these young musicians and the lasting influence it's had, way beyond the confines of the festival itself.
