Jazz Band
We are an enthusiastic group of mixed ability musicians all seeking to unlock the door to making jazz.
The emphasis is definitely on having fun with a musical genre which often challenging but always rewarding.
Currently we have members with instrumentation comprising trumpet, baritone horn, trombone, sax, clarinet, guitar, drums, plus a vocalist.
We would welcome new members,who share our enthusiasm and who are reasonably competent on their chosen instrument. Current vacancies for bass guitar and keyboard players, so if you are interested, please contact the convenor, as shown below. An ability to read music would be helpful but is not essential. What is important is a feeling and a love for the jazz idiom. We meet on the first and third Thursday at Holmer Green Village Hall from 2 to 4 pm.
We have played at local senior citizens groups, care homes and other charitable events and new bookings are welcome.
Our repertoire is made up of traditional New Orleans jazz and big band numbers, and a variety of popular songs, songs from the shows and the Great American Song Book.
If you feel you would like to give it a try, or perhaps you are hesitant, I suggest you call me and we can talk it over.
