Sara Mohr Pietsch introduces the Festival's opening night gala, live from the Barbican in London. Guy Barker conducts the London Jazz Festival Orchestra in Jazz Voice 2014 - 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 American premier jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater; young British jazz talent Emma Smith; vintage pop star Georgie Fame; Birmingham's young soul singer Jacob Banks; Chicago-born jazz artist Sachal; American singer Kurt Elling, who came to fame on the legendary Blue Note label; and American-born East Londoner Vula Malinga.
The programme of songs, all specially arranged by Guy Barker, draws on major anniversaries, birthdays and milestones that link the decades stretching back from 2014. During the interval, Sara Mohr Pietsch talks to Guy Barker and meets some of the soloists.
