Now in its third year, this festival has established a reputation as a good weekend out. and offers its most adventurous programme yet. Tonight’s highlights include Martin Taylor‘s Spirit of ojango (Queen‘s Hall. 8pm). the imaginative jazz-folk fusion oflammas (Park Hotel. 8pm). saxophonist Iain Ballamy and Friends (Glasgow Hotel. 10pm). and Phil Bancroft with The Nikki Iles Trio (Park Hotel. 10pm).

Edinburgh
I Stanley Jordan Queen‘s Hall. South Clerk Street. 668 2109. 8.30pm. £9.50. £8 (£4). A return to action for the American superstar guitarist with the unconventional ‘hammering-on' technique. following a lengthy sabbatical from performing. His
' new album, Bolero (Arista). further
extends his earlier explorations of non- jazz forms. a tendency which will doubtless be reflected here. His last visit with a trio was nothing less than sensational. and he will have to go some to top it this time. The concert is opened by The Jason Rebello Band. the pianist‘s latest funk and soul outfit. featuring singer Joy Rose and rapper Maxi Jazz. Hope it’s a lot less dull than the previous one. but I'm not holding my breath.
