Jazz at The George - The Fallen Heroes
From 29 Oct 26 7:00 PM to 29 Oct 26 10:00 PM
The Heroes are back in the Boston Room celebrating the 30th anniversary of this remarkable ensemble.
The band will be showcasing their unique take on swinging New Orleans jazz together with an interesting mix of classics & originals, hot rhythm & blues and a dash of ska, including numbers by Ray Charles, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and 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 Kansa City Boogie pianist Dean Ross, the line-up is completed by the swinging horns of tenor saxophonist John O’Neil (Madness) and alto sax prodigy Viki Anne.
Doors 7pm, Show starts 7.30pm.
Tickets £16 (£14 for Chiswick Calendar card holders) plus Eventbrite booking fee
