PAST CONCERTS

Saturday 10 December 2022: Remix Jazz Orchestra
17 PIECE BIG BAND SEASONAL SPECTACULAR
The Remix Jazz Orchestra is a hard swinging and exciting 17-piece big band that was formed in September 2010 and it is one of the South’s premier big bands. The band contains some of the regions finest musicians and is directed by professional jazz trumpeter Stuart Henderson. Tonight the band will feature jazz vocalist Fleur Stevenson.
Since it’s inception the band has gone from strength to strength playing to packed out audiences of loyal fans and big band aficionados at it’s monthly concerts. All the band members are experienced musicians who enjoy working on a diverse range of big band music and the repertoire is more varied and challenging than many other big bands.
The Remix Jazz Orchestra often features nationally acclaimed jazz stars as special guests and in recent years these have included Derek Nash, Pete Long, Mark Nightingale, Tina May, Enrico Tomaso, Gordon Campbell and Simon Spillett.
The ethos is to never stand still and to always strive to keep the musicians (and the audience) on their toes! Concert programs include selections from the golden age of Swing through to more contemporary arrangers and composers.
A sample of just some composers and arrangers that the band features are: Basie, Ellington, Kenton, Herman, Goodman, Nestico, Hefti, Heath, Dankworth, Francy Boland, Thad Jones, Dave Wolpe, Mark Taylor, Gordon Goodwin along with contemporary arrangements from Jonathan Lewis and Alex Brown.
Doors: 6.45pm, show 7.30pm. Tickets £15

Saturday 29 October 2022: Moscow Drug Club - SOLD OUT
TRANSCENDENT TROUBADOURS OF GYPSY LATIN & SWING
This concert is now sold out - for ticket waiting list please contact Fleur: fleur@fleurstevensonjazz.co.uk 07795974223. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Moscow Drug Club is a curious musical place where certain elements of 1930’s Berlin Cabaret, Hot Club de France, Nuevo Tango and Gypsy Campfire meet, have a few to drink and stagger arm in arm into the darkness of some eastern European cobbled street on a mission to find the bar where Django Reinhardt and Tom Waits are having an after hours jam with the local Tziganes. Combining their original material with songs by the likes of Jaques Brel, Leornard Cohen, Tom Waits and Eartha Kitt. Moscow Drug Club provide an intoxicating and intimate musical experience.
Moscow Drug Club have played some great venues and festivals of note including WOMAD, National Theatre London, International Gypsy Guitar Festival, Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival, Marlborough Jazz Festival, Royal Albert Hall to name a few, and we can't wait to welcome them to Crowmarsh!
