London Jazz Festival, in association with BBC Radio 3, Friday 11 to Sunday 20 November 2011

The London Jazz Festival may seem a long time away, what with it only being the beginning of August, but preparations for November's festivities are already in full swing. Over the past couple of weeks we've put a raft of shows on sale, giving you a taste of what's to come in what looks to be the largest Festival yet. From the jazz heavyweights such as Sonny Rollins and Herbie Hancock, to the new generation of trailblazing artists, such as Robert Glasper and Christian Scott, there's something to whet every jazz appetite.

There's been a real buzz around these first announcements in the press, and we've seen some great features on some of the Festival's artists.

Juliette Greco speaks to Clive Davis of The Times about her legendary romance with Miles Davis:
