Swingtime Big Band with Emma Howcroft & Andy v The Grand Venue
Musical Director and trombonist Jez Murphy launched this dynamic big band in 2013. In that short time it has achieved a fine reputation for high class musicianship, swing and entertainment value, presenting the best in both classic swing standards and more modern repertoire. Resident vocalist Emma Holcroft is joined on stage for this Ribble Valley Jazz Festival gig by Andy Prior. Lancashire born Andy, himself a band leader who has toured the world, including a season in Las Vegas, is without doubt one of the greatest big band singers ever to emerge from the UK. Frank Sinatra himself praised Andy during his stay in the USA.
Jez Murphy’s Swingtime Big Band has quickly established a reputation as a dynamic and highly skilled outfit with fine musicianship and entertaining performances. The bands popularity continues to grow and sees them performing to sold out shows across the North West. Featuring the finest Big Band players Swingtime is complimented by vocalist Emma Holcroft who sings a wide repertoire of classic jazz standards.
