Since Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band stepped back from performing live concerts in 2013, Acker Bilk's trombonist, Ian Bateman, has been keeping the flag flying for British traditional jazz with a series of jazz productions. He is ideally placed to do this, having spent many years with Terry Lightfoot and his Jazzmen, Humphrey Lyttelton and Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen. The evening will feature music recorded by Acker Bilk, Kenny Ball, Terry Lightfoot, Chris Barber, Alex Welsh, Humphrey Lyttelton and many more. The band will feature: IAN BATEMAN, trombone; ALAN BATEMAN, trumpet; TREVOR WHITING, clarinet/saxes; THOMAS 'Spats' LANGHAM, banjo/guitar; CRAIG MILVERTON, piano; TOM CLARKE-HILL, bass; and NICK MILLWARD drums.
