About the event
From Dundee Jazz Festival:
The official countdown to this November starts right here in Dundee.
To celebrate launching our 2026 festival programme (11–15th November), we’re taking over CANAS for a full day of live music, local food, and great company. We’re here to champion Scotland’s jazz scene from the ground up, shining a light on brilliant emerging talent alongside established local voices. Whether you’ve been listening to jazz for decades or you’re just looking for a solid Saturday out with the kids, there’s a spot saved for you.
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM | Led by Dundee's Ricky Linn, SCuba kick off the day with Salsa and Cuban rhythms and great improvisation.
4:00 PM – 6:00 PM | Contemporary groove based band taking influence from jazz, soul and funk, led on Saxophone by Kimberley Tessa (Scottish Jazz Awards rising star '24). A superb young band to enjoy on a Sunday…
