September 2016 Newsletter
Hello Jazz Lovers,
I hope you have all had a wonderful summer and are all refreshed and ready for the autumn season of jazz at OJC!
I would like to thank all our supporters for making the 5th anniversary gig in July. Such a success … it took a lot of organising but I hope you’ll agree it was worth it. Also, Richard and Amy’s charity gig in August was a sell-out and went down a storm… they send huge thanks for your tremendous support!
We’ve some great gigs coming up!
Tuesday 6th September
The Magnificent Seven Jazz Band
Formed in 2013 by a nucleus of musicians from the Chris Barber, Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball bands, the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN jazz band comprises some of the most sought-after and successful musicians on the jazz scene today. Performing a wide range of jazz styles through well crafted arrangements, this band of versatile musicians successfully blends music from every jazz genre into an exciting and approachable package.
Calling on their experience of performing with Europe’s most influential jazz bands of the last sixty years, the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN combines a wealth of experience with youthful exuberance. Paying homage to the great jazz masters of the early jazz period as well as keeping alive the sounds of the swing era, the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN’s repertoire also celebrates the jazz revival of the 1950’s, tipping their hat to the great bands of Barber, Ball and Bilk. This band takes no prisoners!
With compositions and arrangements by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Louis Prima, Errol Garner, Fats Waller, Chucho Valdez, Paquito D’Rivera and many more, The Magnificent Seven will keep you enthralled!
