THE sun shone on a revived Brecon Jazz Festival after a combination of old and new acts dazzled the crowds.
Veteran saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis, known as the man who invented funk, got the Christ College Stage jumping with his Funk Ensemble at the festival which has taken over the town for three days.
The Godfather of Soul, James Brown's Revue in 1965 and became band leader within six months, formed a line-up which was assembled to combine classic crowd-pullers with emerging Welsh talent.
The team that saved it from the brink of closure in March 2009 is spearheaded by Peter Florence.
He said: "People are coming out of events having discovered world class musicians they didn't know." See the Brecon Jazz picture gallery on WalesOnline
