I'm going to plug my band! www.thelondonjazzcollective.co.uk We're a fresh new bigband - only been together a year. We're establishing ourselves pretty well and we've got a couple more gigs coming up soon. Playing in the Hackney Wick in Thursday 6th April and Spice of Life, Cambridge Circus, Soho on Sunday 18th June. Feel free to plug your jazz bands too in this thread.
Shameless plugs are go! I want to plug my band's new website, www.limbo-music.co.uk. Limbo are an improvised jazz collective based approximately in Bristol. We play free-flowing post-rock jazz weirdness - come to the site and download free tracks in good-quality mp3 format (with more compressed versions available for quick download). Thanks!
If I was nearby I'd go... I always wanted to get a big band going - I love Buddy Rich in particular - Wack Wack (on I think 'The New One from...')has to be one of my favourite tracks of all time. I had a plan a while ago to get a small big band - I wanted to re-visit Edmundo Ross's version of Age of Aquarius - what a track!
