John Shillito's 

SELECT SIX

 

GUARANTEED!!!   MUSICAL, EXCITING & FUN JAZZ FOR ALL OCCASIONS!!!

JOHN SHILLITO'S SELECT SIX - WHAT A KNOCK OUT!    Listen to Bobby Fox on trombone, John Wurr - clarinet, alto & baritone saxes, Derek Maughan - drums, Simon Banks - piano, John Shillito - trumpet & voice, Bob Jarvis - bass guitar.  It's a real "full on" exciting and accomplished band with a strong repertoire of tunes, straight out of New Orleans!  It's a real thrill to lead this band.   We've got a great ensemble sound and feature outstanding soloists.   Our programme is guaranteed to strike all the right chords in many moods - from the poignant suspense of the blues to the joy of a good-time vaudeville song, from the mellow emotions of a romantic ballad to the abandoned joy and ebullience of a street parade!   You can expect enthralling and entertaining performances with lots of high spirits from the band that has that "extra something" that you don't find in many others.  That's what folks tell us - Come along and see and hear for yourself!

 

PLUS, ALSO, THE SMALL, BUT PERFECTLY FORMED....

SELECT FOUR

 

JOHN SHILLITO'S SELECT FOUR.   John Shillito - trumpet & voice, Ken Rennison - soprano, alto and tenor saxes, Bob Jarvis - bass guitar, John Whitlock - guitar & banjo.   A really "tight" and swinging quartet with a wide repertoire, ranging from the rocking to the romantic, the blue to the boisterous, the wistful to the wild!   Timeless jazz that's worth listening to - lots of energy and fun - and great for dancing!

South Devon vocalist, Pauline Draine, often joins the Select 4 for a song or two at our monthly jazz Sunday lunches at the Clifford Arms, Shaldon.

...IT'S FUN TO COME SHOPPING WITH JOHN SHILLITO'S SELECT FOUR!

The "strolling" SELECT FOUR has become a hot favourite with a lot of folks who never dream of going to jazz clubs or festivals.   Our colourful, jolly image and presentation give us a wide public appeal, and the band has become a popular commercial attraction for corporate and promotional events.   For over fifteen years we've been the shoppers' favourite band at THE SHOPS AT DARTINGTON (Cider Press Centre), near Totnes and customers of many other large retailers, including Asda, the Co-op, Somerfield and Tesco have found our eye-catching, ear-pleasing, foot-tapping qualities an enjoyable accompaniment to their shopping.   Daewoo, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot are amongst the motor franchises who have used the music of the SELECT FOUR to add a special zing to their promotional events.

Our aim and motto: jazz things up a bit! and we always do!
