Jazz&Jazz is pleased to introduce the
Calling all Big Swing Band and Jazz Lovers
Come and join us each month in Woburn Sands to enjoy great recordings of the swinging sounds, wonderful lyrics and exciting rhythms of the great American song book era. Whether your taste runs to Basie or Bing, Ellington or Ella, Dorsey or Day, Sinatra or Shaw, Miller or Miles, you can be sure to hear your favourite artists.
We’re a friendly group, always looking to welcome new members – and if you have recently moved into the area, it’s a great way to meet new friends and share in the enjoyment of a golden era of music. It’s great value too – just £2 for members and £3 for guests – including refreshments. Join us on the third Thursday of each month, 7.30 pm in the Ellen Pettit Memorial Hall on Woburn Sands High Street. Our next meeting is Thursday 21st March.
PLUS – Behind the scenes of the music scene, Thursday 18th April
A special treat for lovers of swing and big band music. Our April meeting stars two of the finest jazz players in the country who will be letting us into some of the secrets and stories of playing in a variety of venues and with various artists. As top instrumentalists they will be playing a few pieces to illustrate the challenges and pleasures of being professional musicians.
