Jump 66: Swinging R&B, Soul & Ska
From 03 Jun 23 7:30 PM to 03 Jun 23 10:30 PM
Jump 66: Over a decade playing full houses around the UK kick-started a journey that’s taken them all the way to Glastonbury Festival. With their own unique mix of retro Rhythm & Blues laced with Swing, Soul and Ska, the band is now a lively 6-piece with swinging double bass, honking sax and swirling keys. They’ve polished their act on the London club circuit, and at festivals across the country, being regulars at Ealing Blues and Richmond Riverside Festivals and this year’s busy schedule includes debuts at the legendary Rivoli Ballroom, and the Isle of Wight Blues Festival.
With CVs that list The Commitments, The Cadillac Kings, The Jive Aces and swing legends Oo Bop Sh’Bam, the band boasts some of London’s most in-demand jazz and blues musicians. New for 2023, they're joined by charismatic front man Paul Kissaun (ex-Flying Pickets) and keyboardist Pete Saunders (ex- Dexy's Midnight Runners). Expect to hear swinging interpretations of little-known gems by Count Basie, Charlie Rich, Eddie ‘Cleanhead’ Vinson and Memphis Slim, alongside originals that bear comparison with the James Hunter Band, John Nemeth and rocking French swing legend Nico Duportal. Tickets £16 (£14 for Chiswick Club Card holders) plus Eventbrite booking fee
