After launching in 2012, Love Supreme has "gone from strength to strength", The Guardian says.
The Independent described last year's event, when Grace Jones and Lianne La Havas headlined, as a "gathering of jazz and soul tribes like no other festival".
It added: "It's breaking down barriers at a time when they're being nailed up in Britain."
This year, Love Supreme has assembled a diverse line-up bringing together artists from across the world.
LA sensation and Kendrick Lamar collaborator Kamasi Washington, famed New Orleans group Hot 8 Brass Band, Canadian hits Bad Bad Not Good, and R&B veteran Lee Field & The Expressions are also on the bill.
As well as a packed music schedule across four stages, the festival's Jazz Lounge is home to artist Q&As, panel discussions, film screenings and album playbacks.
For children, there is a vintage funfair and play area, while early morning salsa classes are the jazz festival's answer to yoga lessons.
At night, live music will be performed in the Jazz In The Round venue where artists will be interviewed before they play, while club nights include Island Records presenting vintage remixes and Jazz FM's Funky Sensation.
In between the music, supper club-style breakfasts, lunches and dinners are on offer, along with the usual festival fare.
Love Supreme takes place from 30 June to 2 July at Glynde Palace in East Sussex. Tickets start at £54 and are available from lovesupremefestival.com.
