This band went down a storm when they played for Stratford Jazz at the White Swan in November 2008 and such enormous interest was shown in the re-booking that we decided to transfer the gig from the White Swan to The Chapel, No.1 Shakespeare Street - where Stratford Jazz will be permanently on and from Sunday 29 Nov 2009 ... see below |

November 2009
29 Nov - Sarah Gillespie info / Gilad Atzmon / Ben Bastin £8 on door. (& Raffle funding)
Sarah Gillespie (v & g) Gilad (reeds & accordion) Ben Bastin (b) Josh Blackmore (d)
Sarah Gillespie is one of the most individual yet recognisable voices to appear on the jazz scene for some time. My spies tell me that she wowed an audience in North Devon recently, sold all her albums at the one gig and had nothing left for the remainder of the Devon/Cornwall tour. Gilad Atzmon needs no introduction to Stratford Jazz regulars, his partnership with Sarah should prove to be stimulating and dynamic at our new venue: The Chapel, No.1 Shakespeare Street
December Preview
06 Dec - Harry Beckett Quintet featuring Chris Biscoe £8 on door.
Harry Beckett (t & f) Chris Biscoe (s) Liam Noble (p) Fred T Baker (electric bass) Tony Marsh (d)
Harry Beckett's reputation extends throughout Europe and the USA. One of Britain's top trumpet players, he has played with Charles Mingus, John Surman, Ronnie Scott, Stan Tracey et al. John Fordham of the Guardian said of Harry, "He must be about the most melodic brass player in the country". One glance at the line-up reveals that the cream of the UK's jazz talent will be on view for this evening.
13 Dec - Pete Lay Quartet £5 on door
Pete Lay (s & v) Mike Pears (p) Peter Simpson (b) Graham Baldwin (d)
Pete Lay never fails to give one hundred percent when he appears at our gigs. This evening the repertoire will span from Fats Waller to funk with some rousing blues vocals from Pete.
20 Dec - The Quiver Sextet
*CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - £10 TICKET ONLY (Champagne draw).
Casey Greene (saxes & flute) Simon King (g) Edgar Macias (p)
Wilmer Sifontes (bongos) Roger Innis (b) Carl Hemmingsley (d)
This is one of the most popular and exhilarating bands on the present jazz scene. Led by Australian multi-instrumentalist Casey Greene they play high quality Latin Jazz without the clichés. Regulars will be delighted to see them return with some special new arrangements for the Christmas season. A capacity audience is anticipated for this gig.

*NEW YEAR SPECIAL - £10 TICKET ONLY (Champagne draw).
Alan Barnes (reeds) Bruce Adams (t & f) - with Tom Hill (b) Paul Sawtell (p) Neil Bullock (d)
This quintet did a terrific New Year gig last year and we have been most fortunate to persuade them to do a return. This will be good, honest, straight-ahead jazz always swinging and with humour never far from the agenda. A cracking way to start 2010.

24 Feb 2008 - Geoff Eales Qrt info feat. Michael Coates
Geoff Eales (p) Michael Coates (sax) Roy Babbington (b) Mark Fletcher (d) Geoff’s reputation as one of the country’s finest continues to grow both here and in the States. ‘People like musicians to fit neatly into categories, Geoff does not do that. He delights in technique not for its own sake but because it allows him to be clear.’ Jazz Views‘... a gifted home-grown, totally uncategorisable pianist-composer who burns with terrifying passion for the music.’ Jazz at Ronnie Scott’s -
More Geoff Eales info on this website.
Andrzej Baranek (p) Nick Blacka (b) Tommy Ormesher (g)
Rob Turner (d) This was the first visit to Stratford Jazz at the White Swan of this exciting quintet. It was an evening of good swinging jazz - and a lot of fun .They are making quite a name for themselves in the NorthWest. Their demo disc impressed Roy.
