“JAZZ-BẢN ĐỊA” (Indigenous Jazz) is a concept about a music genre, a style seemingly shaped by the serendipitous encounter between the Jazz saxophonist Quyền Thiện Đắc and the creative group of musicians Đàn Đó. The journey with jazz music of Jazz saxophonist Quyen Thien Dac influenced by his family’s traditional musical background. His musical path involved persistent study and research abroad. After graduating from the Hanoi Conservatory of Music, he earned a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in the United States, followed by a master’s degree at Malmo University in Sweden. His return to Vietnam brought a foundation of Western knowledge along with ambitious thoughts about paving the way for a jazz style with the spirit of Vietnamese soul.
Đàn Đó will be collaborating with 3 Scottish musicians for this unique concert as the culmination of a week-long residency in the Highlands:
Tom Bancroft – drums
Ali Levack – whistle/pipes
James Mackay – guitar
7:00 pm doors, 7:30 pm start time

Mackintosh Queens Cross Church Presents ‘Hejira’ a 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, mostly from the late ‘70s. Having released the albums ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns’, ‘Hejira’, ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’ and ‘Mingus’ (regarded as her ‘jazz period’), Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous jazz musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album, ‘Shadows And Light’; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire. Comprising highly experienced jazz musicians, this band is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has – in her own way – assimilated the poise, power and beauty of Joni’s vocals, but also plays guitar with Joni’s stylistic mannerisms. Expect an evening of the ‘great’ songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue, such as ‘Amelia’, ‘Woodstock’, ‘A Case Of You’, ’Song For Sharon’ and ‘Edith And The Kingpin’.
Hattie Whitehead – vocals and guitar
Pete Oxley – guitar
Ollie Weston – tenor and soprano sax
Chris Eldred – piano & keyboards
Dave Jones – electric basses
Rick Finlay – drums
Marc Cecil – percussion
Glasgow Jazz Festival, Regular Music & Synergy Concerts presents Fergus McCreadie Trio plus support from India Blue & Norman Villeroux
In the dynamic landscape of contemporary jazz, Scottish pianist and composer Fergus McCreadie has carved a remarkable niche. Since 2021, his career has skyrocketed, marked by two acclaimed album releases that propelled him into the limelight – shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and clinching the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) for “Forest Floor.” His debut with Edition Records, “Cairn” (2021), set the stage for a journey deeply rooted in natural themes.
McCreadie’s latest venture, “Stream,” continues this intriguing exploration, this time delving into the essence of water. Accompanied by his long-standing comrades, David Bowden and Stephen Henderson, the album flows with the fluidity of its namesake. It’s a musical stream that flows through the rich landscapes of Scottish folklore and the sophisticated avenues of contemporary jazz, blending them seamlessly.
