Roger Marks Armada Jazz Band


I have recently uploaded a few tracks and an audio advert for the Armada Jazz Band, a West Country group from the United Kingdom led by trombonist Roger Marks. The band has been in exsistence quite a time and was reformed in 1996 to play festivals and clubs around the UK. The album featured on TJR at the moment is called "Windjammer" and is issued by Leap Frog Records. The band is:-
Roger Marks (trombone) John Shillito (trumpet and vocals) Ken Rennison (sporano and alto sax.) Eddie Edwards (banjo) Terry Turland (bass guitar) and Terry Lidiard (drums).
The CD features the following tracks:- Marching through Georgia, The glory of love, Caberet, Fidgety feet, Our love is here to stay, Moose march, Georgia on my mind, Lady of Spain, Bei mir bist du schön, Martha, The way you look tonight, Too busy and the ever popular What a wonderful world.
