Old Hat Jazz play swinging favourites and rarities from the 1920s and ’30s. The 7 strong line-up is a return to the quintessential sound of early jazz from New Orleans. With a youthful vitality and playfulness, as well as brimming enthusiasm, Old Hat Jazz Band spread jollity and merriment wherever their music takes them!
The virtuoso ensemble hones a repertoire of vintage, old, new and borrowed complex Jazz rhythms and melodies to marvel at each week. Ewan Bleach, accompanied by a collective of revolving Jazz musicians, leads the night. The band’s sound is akin to that of Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, Benny Goodman and more Jazz greats so come along and witness it grow!
