The Stars of British Jazz recreate traditional jazz as made popular in Britain in the 1950s and ‘60s, which became known as 'British Trad'. They will be on stage at the Epsom Playhouse for one night only on Thursday 22 January.
From this period emanated bands that dominated the British jazz scene for many years, such as the bands of Kenny Ball, Chris Barber, Acker Bilk, Terry Lightfoot and Humphrey Lyttelton, all of whom became highly respected on the international jazz scene.
With this spirit in mind, Stars of British Jazz is a band comprising of a mixture of past and present members of these famous bands together with younger, top class ability musicians of today, all of whom have previously worked together in various bands over the years.
It is the band’s intention to keep this wonderful music alive by presenting a programme performed with all of the original creativity and energy to reflect this era.
