This 6 piece band plays the best of the forties and fifties by the likes of Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Nat King Cole, evoking the era of fedora hats, basement jazz clubs and the Great American Jazz era. These styles have been extremely popular since the turn of the millennium, and the band is as suitable for a wedding as it is for a golden wedding anniversary.
The talented pianist leading the band has played with many leading jazzmen, including George Melly, Terry Lightfoot, Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball. The other band members are equally experienced, with CVs featuring just about all the top jazz stars of the last 30 years.
