arrow.gif Langstone Cliff Hotel Summer Jazz Weekend

It could be said that we are quietly pleased at the reception of our annual Jazz Weekend. On the other hand it could also be said that we are chuffed to bits with the high quality of the music and musicians that Denise and Tony Lawrence have assembled for us, year on year since 2001 – and the package they have brought together for next July will certainly mean that the Summer Jazz Weekend for 2008 is going to be every bit as exiting.

Those of you that are already Jazz aficionados will know every name in the programme – for those of you that are not so familiar with the genre, be assured we are bringing you some of the very best. Bound to be a great weekend.

Denise Lawrence
THE DENISE LAWRENCE BAND

Having just celebrated 21 years on the British Jazz `circuit', The Denise Lawrence Band has consistently entertained jazz audiences to the highest possible standards. Their CDs have attracted rave reviews both here and in the States and they have played in the most prestigious venues from the Royal Festival Hall to Worcester Cathedral. With tours on the finest cruise liners and appearances at many other international events, they have taken their music throughout Europe to Asia and America - and yet, through all this, they have kept their feet firmly on the ground playing just where they like to - and not where they don't!! Denise's wonderful singing and quick fire sense of humour has endeared her to audiences everywhere and, of course, she has the advantage of being backed by some top class musicians including her musical director and husband, pianist Tony Lawrence.

JOHN HALLAM

Guesting with Denise this weekend is the sensational clarinet, sax, and flute player, John Hallam. Rated by some as the greatest reed player on the UK jazz scene, John is a quite awesome musical talent. He recorded a CD with The Denise Lawrence Band a couple of years ago and this has proved to be a huge success producing demands from promoters for more and more dates with this combination. If you have not seen John before, prepare to be amazed!! Langstone Cliff Hotel is proud to have been able to get John and Denise together throughout our 2006 jazz weekend.

 
THE ANTIOUE SIX JAZZ BAND

Originally conceived by Keith Hockin, an antique dealer - hence the name!! - this band have been taking the jazz world by storm over the last few years. With a non-stop schedule of bookings throughout the UK and abroad the band have now established themselves as one of the most popular and professional bands at jazz clubs and festivals everywhere. Playing their exciting brand of vintage jazz in the classic tradition, The Antique Six were voted `band of the year' by the Stafford Jazz Society and were also winners of the Ken Rattenbury Memorial Trophy.

DES BACON'S RED HOT SYNCOPATORS

Needing no introduction to those who have visited us before, Des' band play a unique blend of music from the roaring twenties. Join them for a spellbinding journey through the sounds, the spectacle and the nostalgia, of jazz's greatest era. With a repertoire ranging from the downright obscure to the greatest melodies ever composed, this band treat every tune with loving care and bestow upon it their own superb musical arrangement. A rare lunchtime treat on Saturday!!

GERRY BROWN'S MISSION HALL JAZZBAND

In 1962, the Band was chosen to accompany the last Louis Armstrong tour to this country. Gerry has remained since that time as one of our very finest trumpet plyers and his current band is rated by many as the greatest traditional jazz band playing in the UK today. With his splendid singing and wicked sense of humour Gerry always ensures that entertainment is high on the menu.

JOHN SHILLITO'S SELECT SIX

There could be no better band than John Shillito's Select Six to burden with the responsibility of bringing our wonderful weekend of jazz to a memorable conclusion. The band members are chosen from among the very greatest players of the early jazz styles in Britain today. John Shillito himself is fine trumpet player and a bandleader of almost forty years experience. Many will remember John when he took over the trumpet chair from Ken Colyer with the band becoming `John Bastable's Chosen Six'. Fronted by John's great musical skill and poise, to say nothing of his excellent vocals, this band have that `little bit extra' flair and sparkle.
