Bebop Spoken There

Jennifer Wharton: "People forget that the trombone is so glorious. It can be like going to church, or getting ready for battle. It can be a lot of things....For a longtime I was the only female trombonist in New York," - (DownBeat May 2021)

CD review: The Jelly Roll Jazz Band - Whose Solo is it Anyway?


Dan Wackett (bjo); Michael Grant (clt/spoons); Laurence Marshall (tpt/tmb/vcl); Ben Sarney (bs).
(Review by Lance).
The sleeve says that the Jelly Roll Jazz Band [above names] are listed in reverse alphabetical order according to the penultimate letter of their surname. This gave me the idea that this isn't a disc to be taken too seriously!
It's a fun band! And if you're having a Prohibition Party, this is the band for you.
Lots of tried and tested favourites such as When the Saints; Bourbon St. Parade; Five Foot Two; Sheik of Araby; Just a Closer Walk With Thee; St. James Infirmary; Margie;  Moon River; Bare Necessities; Ice Cream; When You're Smiling; 14 seconds of In the Mood and an unlisted blast on Bill Bailey. Nowhere else will you hear such heart-rending interpretations of the core banjo repertoire , say's the press release. A fair description.
Got to be the best party band in Scarborough which is where they are hiding out from the Jazz Police. Visit them on Facebook.
