Jazz At The George - Fallen Heroes
From 10 Oct 24 7:30 PM to 10 Oct 24 10:00 PM
An evening of funky swing in the unique Heroes style including numbers from their recent album “Songs From The Attic” as well as other exciting old favourites all helped along the way by the noted Kansas City boogie pianist Dean Ross.
Expect to hear an interesting mix of rocking classics & originals, hot rhythm & blues and a dash of ska, including numbers by Ray Charles, Fats Domino and Chuck Berry & more all influenced by the jazz and blues of New Orleans where band leaders Ben and Emile Martyn grew up.
The Martyn Brothers’ musical history includes playing with the likes of Dr John, James Cotton, KT Tunstall and Ronnie Wood among others. The band draws on the musical energy of the American South but with a twist, writing original compositions in a funky New Orleans manner but in a more contemporary London style. With Ben Martyn on vocals & bass, Emile Martyn on drums and backing vocals and Dean Ross on keys, the line-up is completed by John O’Neil (Madness) on saxophone and Rob Pearce on trombone.
7.30pm. Tickets £15 (£13 for Chiswick Calendar card holders) plus Eventbrite booking fee
