Jazzin'it
(the oldest new band
in the land)
04/10/18 -
‘Following from the sad loss of our clarinettist Phil Yates, Mark and I discussed future possibilities for the band. All the remaining members are quite busy with other band commitments, our drummer, Nick, is at the ‘further education’ stage of life, and with the prospect of only continuing as a ‘deps pick- up band’ as so many bands now find themselves, we decided to call a halt. It has been a pleasure to be involved with such a fine bunch of musicians for 7 years. - Richard Knock.’ |
Jazzin'it are a six-piece Jazz
band, originally started by Mike Sutton in Autumn 2011. Now with
it's own individual personality and style, the 6 current members of
Jazzin'it plays a variety of traditionally based jazz music without
being 'pigeon-holed' into a specialist category. Old standards are
sometimes presented in a new way; the band likes to make full use of
the individual talents of its musicians, while always presenting an
entertaining programme. · Richard Knock - Trumpet · Phil Yates - Clarinet · Alan Matthews - Trombone · Mark Todd - Guitar · Gerry Clayton - Bass · Nick Todd - Drums
Apart from jazz venues, the band is the ideal choice for private parties, weddings, balls, corporate events or any function where 'toe- tapping' live music is required. For information call Mark Todd on 07849 190540 |
