Sunday 15th May 2016, 2 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Dave formed the present line-up in 2013 ‘to keep alive’ the music of Kenton’s ground breaking progressive jazz orchestra. The audience reaction to Dave’s highly professional outfit has been assuredly positive; especially encouraging was the recent appearance at Wigan Jazz Festival which was recorded and broadcast by the BBC. Be prepared for a surfeit of Kenton treats including Swinghouse, What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life, Intermission Riff and selections from West Side Story and The Cuban Fire Suite.
