The Jazz Defenders – presented by North Devon Jazz Club
April 1 at 8:30 pm
The Jazz Defenders are a band committed to defending the legacy of such classic hard bop jazz greats as Horace Silver, Lee Morgan and Art Blakey will be next up at North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver, Appledore on Monday 1 April.
Combining solid grooves and catchy horn lines with a collaborative and comprehensive sound, fusing soul, jazz, hip hop, soundtrack and groove into a masterful union, the band leaves audiences mesmerised. The result is an enthrallingly unique sound that is as danceable as it is listenable, described by Jamie Cullum as ‘absolutely storming’.
Led by top-flight pianist George Cooper the band will also include some of the UK’s finest players. The line up will be Jake McMurchie (tenor sax), Nick Malcolm (trumpet), Ian Matthews (drums), Will Harris (bass) and George Cooper (piano/keyboards).
The gig is hosted by the North Devon Jazz Club. Thank you NDJC. There is no entrance fee, however a collection is taken for the band. For a meal booking please phone The Beaver on 01237 474822
