Event Description
The Bateman Brothers Jazz Band started its life by creating a tribute show to Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars. All of Louis’ greatest hits are performed as per the original arrangements in the original style with Alan Bateman hitting those super-hot notes and Ian Bateman being Trummy or Jack Teagarden for a night! You’ll hear Basin Street Blues with the slow side and the fast side, When You’re Smiling with Louis’ amazing interpretation of the melody and all of the chart hits including songs from ‘High Society’. What a line-up this band has too. In addition to Ian and Alan, there’s Trevor Whiting on clarinet (ex Chris Barber), Craig Milverton on piano, voted #1 top jazz pianist in the British Jazz Awards 2010, Tom Clarke Hill on bass and Nick Millward on drums (ex Kenny Ball).
