Live from the LJF: Opening Gala Concert 鈥� Voices

Guy Barker conducts the London Jazz Festival's opening night gala, live from the Barbican.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch introduces the EFG London Jazz Festival's opening night gala, live from the Barbican in London. Guy Barker conducts the London Jazz Festival Orchestra in Jazz Voice 2015 - a celebration of some of the great songs of the past ten decades, sung by some of the great voices of today.

Among this year's line-up are Illinois-born R&B singer Liv Warfield; emerging Californian singer-songwriter Jarrod Lawson; New York-based singer and guitarist Becca Stevens; UK veteran Elaine Delmar, who made her broadcast debut in 1952; and younger Brits Joe Stilgoe and Rebecca Ferguson.

The programme of songs, all specially arranged by Guy Barker, draws on major anniversaries, birthdays and milestones that link the decades stretching back from 2015. During the interval, Sara Mohr-Pietsch talks to Guy Barker and meets some of the soloists.
