The Big Easy is an energetic swing band from Leeds. Their music spans the 20th century; covering repertoire from the early days of jazz, classic New Orleans numbers and lively jump-jive.

Right. This is now getting serious.

I often say that I’d like to grow my hair again and lose a bit of weight. If I also bought a pink suit we’re basically looking at the future here…

Simon Spillett Quartet with Liam Dunachie, Alec Dankworth and Pete Cater is @wakefieldjazz next Friday
Simon is a powerfully swinging, straight-ahead tenor saxophonist, one capable of taking the audience on a roller-coaster ride from energetic bebop to heartfelt balladry.

[The West Yorkshire Piano Studio @WYPianoStudio]

How do I get this event list showing for my own business profile? @google I have created the events in Google business but they show as updates from owner. Help appreciated!

[Wakefield Jazz @wakefieldjazz]

[Naadia sheriff @NaadiaSheriff]

Can you help me to grow my collection? It’s a morning of PhD work and I’m looking through my pile of Jazz listings leaflets which make a colourful window into the world of programming, and deserve to be archived and researched. Thanks to @YazzAhmed1 for loyally picking these up

[Wakefield Jazz @wakefieldjazz]

Friday 26 May
The James Allsopp Quartet is the new project from the BBC Jazz award winning saxophonist. The band builds on joyful and haunting melodies and combines them with deep bass riffs and a sense of swing rooted in the jazz tradition but not beholden to it.

The Whitman Review is out

It was a riveting band performance, in which each had ample space for showcasing their solo talents, without the slightest compromise to the integrity of the songs.

[Wakefield Jazz @wakefieldjazz]

It was an in depth article as well. Great for a local lad!!

[Shandy Raw @AndyShaw1]

SHOCK NEWS!
I was interviewed by the @guardian about @UnleashedComedy.
I was quoted accurately and it wasn’t a hit job.
Hats off to Rachel Aroesti. Proper journalist!
