Bob Dwyer’s Bix & Pieces

Next date at Farnborough - 27th August 2010

 

Bob Dwyer has been appearing at Farnborough Jazz Club for many years. Now Bob has put this band together and calls it ‘Bob Dwyer’s Bix & Pieces’. They made their first appearance at Farnborough on Friday 9th April 2010 and were a great success. As one of London’s most versatile swinging traditional jazz bands, listening and dancing to this band is fun and a most entertaining experience. The musicianship and knowledge of the music played is of the highest quality. The musicians entertaining for your pleasure will be:

Bob Dwyer - trombone, 54 years in the business, half that as a band leader.

Max Emons - trumpet, is also a very good earthy rhythm and blues singer he compliments this with sexy harmonica playing

Duncan Hemstock - clarinet and tenor sax, is an exceptional young talent from an Adelaide, Australia.

Hugh Crozier - piano, simply, one of the best in the business.

Nick Singer - banjo, an occasional singer. You’d better believe it!

John Bayne - double bass and bass sax. Listen out for his feature number “Elephant Stomp” on bass sax.

Last, but not least,

Laurie Chesco - drums. Probably the most celebrated drummer on the traditional jazz scene.

(Graham Callicotte played drums on 27th August 2010)

There we have it. Brilliant frontline backed by an exceptional rhythm section.
