Thursday 12th November at Dundee Jazz Festival 2026 🌉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🕢 19:30 Ali Affleck's Rhythm Rascals at Steeple Church
For this year’s festival, affleck brings together a special international lineup of her Rhythm Rascals collective. The gig marks the Scottish debut of New York trumpeter Mike Davis—a musician with an incredibly intuitive feel for 1920s hot jazz. They are joined by the brilliant Argentine duo of Lucas Ferrari on piano and Fernando Montardit on guitar and banjo, and Scottish stalwart Roy Percy on the Double Bass.

🕢 19:30 TC. Kylie at Marryatt Hall
Wielding her signature keytar, .kylie fuses the emotive lyricism of Cantonpop with the high-octane energy of Japanese Acid Jazz. Her live sets channel Studio Ghibli-inspired nostalgia through high-fidelity arrangements, creating a vivid bridge between cultural heritage and cinematic warmth.

The Lowdown Jazz Jam is a staple of Dundee's jazz scene, inviting guests from across Scotland to share a stage with local dundonian talent. Host Seth Bennett creates a welcoming and positive atmosphere, encouraging musical risk and experimentation.
