JOHN
SHILLITO'S SELECT SIX. Bobby Fox,
trombone,
John Wurr - clarinet, alto & baritone saxes, Derek Maughan - drums, John Whitlock -
guitar & banjo, John Shillito - trumpet & voice, Bob Jarvis - bass guitar. This
is 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 ebullience of a street parade!. You can expect
enthralling performances and plenty 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!) We'll be at the Bude Jazz Festival
again this year,
at the Falcon Hotel and in the new Marquee with a special session for dancing!
PLUS,
ALSO, THE SMALL, BUT PERFECTLY FORMED....
JOHN SHILLITO'S
SELECT FOUR.
Bob
Jarvis - bass guitar, John Shillito - trumpet & voice, John Whitlock -
guitar & banjo, Ken Rennison - soprano, alto and tenor saxes.
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!
The Select
Four will be at Bude Jazz Festival this year, our first appearance
there. Come along and join the fun at the Waterfront on Thursday
afternoon, August 28th!
Timeless jazz that stands the listening - and is great for dancing!
AND
THERE'S MORE...
...IT'S
FUN 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 a dozen years we've
been the shoppers' favourite band at Dartington Cider Press Centre, near Totnes
and customers of many other large
retailers, including Asda, the Co-op, Somerfield, Tesco and Woolworths 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!
