Musicians Cooperative about the premier performance of The Brighton
Jazz Suite which my big band will be performing on April 24th (Easter
Sunday) at 8pm at the Brunswick, Holland Road, Hove.
The members of my fantastic band are:
Dave Moorhouse, Martijn van Galen, Rob Heasman, Bob Turner (trumpets)
Paul Nieman, Mark Bassey, Tim Wade and Howard Beagley (trombones)
Alex Bondonno, Phil Paton, Brendan Kelly, Simon D'Souza, Anna Jordanous (saxes)
Terry Pack (string bass) , Jerry Dearden (bass guitar), Dave Trigwell
(drums) and myself on piano/compositions
Unlike other big bands, almost everyone gets a chance to solo and
each one is a terrific soloist in their own right.
Tickets are £8 and £3 concessions (students).
The pieces are all based on past and present aspects of Brighton. It
is my policy to have more local relevance of jazz than is normally the
case.
I've never worked in a cotton plantation in the deep South or in a bar
in New York City, but I have walked along Brighton sea-front.
best wishes,
Paul Busby
