TAD NEWTON'S JAZZ FRIENDS

Tad Newton's Jazz Friends are now established as one of the most popular group on the UK and international jazz entertainment scene. The Jazz friends specialize in lively always swinging jazz. within this framework also reside the sounds of Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Count Basie.

Whilst concentrating on the jazz sounds of the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's, the Jazz Friends do nor resign themselves to re-runs of 'golden oldies' and can combine their traditional repertoire with more contemporary blues material. The band features within its show, a flexibility of approach enabling it to spotlight delightful interludes of vocals, novelties, rhythm and blues, as well as fine solos by its respected and noted individual musicians.
