The Big Easy

A COUPLE of top jazz events have been lined up in the coming weeks to banish the winter blues.

First up for Darlington New Orleans Jazz Club is the visit of The Big Easy kicks on Saturday, February 3.

The club’s Ray Sams said: “They’re a young and energetic swing band from Leeds with a repertoire that’s designed showcase their lively and varied performances of the best swing from the 20th century.

“They exude class – but not at the expense of fun – when they play their brand of early jazz, New Orleans deep-south classics and lively jump-jive.”

Then on March 3, TJ Johnson is back with his band.

TJ is one of the country’s finest jazz and blues pianists and singers.

For his Darlington gig he will be joined by standout jazz trumpeter and club favourite Jamie Brownfield.

Darlington New Orleans Jazz Club meets at St Augustine’s Parish Hall, Larchfield Street, Darlington, at 12.30pm on the first Saturday of every month.
