Pershore Jazz on a Summer's Day

Britain’s top jazz musicians join us live on stage to present classic jazz from the 20s, 30s and 40s.

Each session reveals a different scintillation from the music scene of the era. ‘Around Five Pennies’ recalls the Red Nichols bands, which sometimes featured swing legends Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and Jimmy Dorsey, whilst ‘The Spanish Tinge’ will illustrate the influence of Latin rhythms. Next up, ‘Red Hot Pepper Stomp’ owes its content to Jelly Roll Morton, ‘Music of the Jazz Age’ is high-octane Dixieland, and ‘Playing with Strings’ gives exposure to the little-known Dallas String Band from Texas.

The finale - ‘Rhythm is Our Business’ - highlights the best of the swing era big bands from the U.S. and Britain. All compered by classic jazz devotee Jonathan Holmes from BBC Bristol.

This event is a private hire.
