Tad Newton's Jazz Friends

New this time to the playlist on Trad. Jazz Radio is Northampton man Tad Newton and his Jazz Friends. The band has kindly placed a one year advert on the station and various tracks from the two CDs Tad sent to Trad. Jazz Radio will be played over the next year. The band has a varied and wide selection of jazz styles and sound a little like a mix between 1940's Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Guests on both CDs include the wonderful Alan Barnes on clarinet, baritone and alto saxophone and Greg Abate on Alto saxophone.
The Jazz Friends are; Tad Newton (trombone) Zoltan Zagi (clarinet,alto and tenor sax) Gary Wood (trumpet) Graham Scriven (drums)Mike Graver (piano) Tomas Pedersen (bass) and Dave Lipson (guitar).
Both CDs were recorded live in Wellingborough Jazz Festival, Buckingham Jazz Club and Teignmouth Jazz Festival during 2003.
