Our next featured band on TJR is....

The Old Fashioners from the beautiful coastal town of Enkhuisen in the Netherlands are this months featured band and the latest CD, "Jump and Jazz" is now being featured on the playlist. The line up of musicians is as follows:- Richard Heeres (trumpet and vocals) Jeroen de Graaff (clarinet and tenor saxophone) Sam Verbeek /trombone and vocals) Marcel Degeling (banjo) Jose' Baars (double bass) and Sam Brieffies (drums).
The music is quite distinctive in as such that it evokes memories of the late Max Collie band with its mixture of pure trad. with a little jump jive mixed in and the CD was recorded in June 2004. For those of you who have not visited the Enkhuisen Jazz Festival, the yearly extravaganza of traditional jazz music, laughter and fun, I must tell you that it is one of the friendliest jazz festivals you will ever visit and apart from being a really charming place, something to note is that it involves people of all age groups. Enkhuisen itself can boast over ten traditinal jazz bands, something which most Europen cities cannot match!
