Past and present members of famous bands are set to perform traditional jazz music made popular in Britain during the 50s and 60s.
The Stars of British Jazz is a band comprised of members of groups from the time and younger musicians from today’s jazz scene. They will play at Epsom Playhouse later this month.
The Playhouse says: "It is the band’s intention to keep this wonderful music alive by presenting a programme performed with all of the original creativity and energy to reflect this era."
The traditional jazz music, which became known as British trad, was dominated for many years by the likes of Kenny Ball, Chris Barber, Acker Bilk, Terry Lightfoot and Humphrey Lyttelton.
Epsom Playhouse, Ashley Avenue, Epsom; Thursday January 22; 7.30pm; £15; call 01372 742555; visit www.epsomplayhouse.co.uk
