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 Keswick and Bude Jazz Festivals
again next year. Come and have fun with us - listening or dancing!
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 - and is great for dancing!

...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 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!
