Listening to Jazz

Status:Active, open to new members
Group email: Listening to Jazz group
When: Monthly on Tuesday afternoons
2nd Tuesday of the month

We listen to anything Jazz related from 1910 to the present day. The recordings can be on vinyl, CD, You-Tube, Spotify... the list goes on. At each meeting, every member chooses two or three jazz performances with which they would like to familiarise the other members. Figures as diverse as Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Humphrey Lyttelton, and King Hokum and their performances have all been introduced to the rest of the group.

Any newcomers would be welcomed. No prior knowledge or expertise is required.
