An eclectic array of internationally acclaimed artists from across the musical spectrum have been added to the line-up for this summer’s Love Supreme Jazz Festival.

Other recent additions to the bill include The Milk, Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Bernhoft, soulful vocalist Avery Sunshine, Brooklyn-based instrumental three-piece Moon Hooch and the hotly-tipped pianist and singer Kandace Springs, whose new album will be released on Blue Note later on this year. Her version of Sam Smith’s Stay With Me, which prompted Prince to invite her to perform with him, is available to view below.
