Saturday 5 November 8 pm

New Jazz 5 Presents the Karen Sharp Quartet

With Karen Sharp on tenor saxophone, Nikki Iles on piano, Dave Green on double bass & Steve Brown on drums. Since graduating from Humphrey Littleton’s band, Karen has developed into a major artist who is very much in demand judging by her busy touring schedule. She brings her new Quartet to the Drill Hall as part of an extensive UK tour, when she fronts what must be the to-die-for rhythm section of British jazz. Karen has a warm, singing tone, a melodic flair and a great sense of swing.

Tickets: £14 (£12 concessions / £7 students)

Jazz At The Kitty Hall, Voodoo Lounge, Stamford.

Jazz At The Kitty Hall The Concept of Jazz at the Kitty Halls

Recreated at Mama Liz’s Voodoo Lounge in Stamford, where the wonderful Creole and Cajun restaurant will be serving a special selection of Louisiana dishes prior to the show. Due to lack of conventional revenue the operators of dance halls in New Orleans in the '60's found it necessary to place a "Kitty" basket/jar in front of the band stand or to pass a basket in order to pay the band. Mama Liz wish to try and maintain a presence of jazz in the tradition of New Orleans styled music to compliment the cuisine and atmosphere of the venue and anyone is welcome to respond in kind. We hope you enjoy the repertoire of popular songs, rags, marches, spirituals, vaudeville and general joie de vivre of an evening’s music. The band name is "Bill Dickens' Fron-Zi-Me Stompers” which is the phonetic pronunciation of “Francs Amis” after which a dance hall operated in New Orleans ("Francs Amis Hall" – roughly translated “True Friends Hall”). The address was given as 1820, North Robertson Street, Tremé / Lafitte, New Orleans, built in 1861 in one of the oldest neighbourhoods of the city. It is the tradition for many European bands who try and play New Orleans style music to adopt a name synonymous with the city either a street, park or area - in this case a dance hall.
