Glasgow Cathedral Festival 2024: Tommy Smith

As twilight falls, the cloistered crypt takes on a dense and moody tone—creating a place of sanctuary. Sit back and let your mind wander along with flexuous melodies improvised by jazz legend Tommy Smith.

Tommy needs little introduction; as a star saxophonist and the dynamic leader of the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, he is known worldwide for a decades-long career at the forefront of the Scottish jazz scene. His exclusive performance for GCF acoustically and physically weaves around the ancient stone columns of the lower church, presenting familiar themes with new perspectives, and encircling you with ardent, fluctuating sound.
