Fri 10th
Fantastic octet playing classic Jazz tunes from the 1930s to 1960s. This well-known band now plays very rarely together, so don't miss this opportunity to see, hear and dance to them. A great choice for dancing Lindy, Jive and Foxtrot. Before the gig, starting at 18:45, we've got a talk about "How Jazz music came to Britain" by Dick Lee, musician, composer, band leader and Jazz historian.
Here's a video of the band
Fri 17th
This is a double act: The Maid of the Forth Stompers will serve up classic and Trad Jazz, whilst King Louis and the Primas specialises in entertaining Swing Jazz for dancing. Before the gig, starting at 18:45, we've got a talk about "How Jazz music came to Edinburgh" by Grahame Blamire, musician, band leader and author, and Norrie Thomson, cofounder of the Edinburgh Jazz 'n Jive Club..
