Rachel’s Dream
features John Hallam (reeds), Rachel Hayward (vibes, guitar), Tom Kincaid (piano)
and Nick Ward (drums) in a refreshingly different band which takes as its starting poin
the small-group swing of the quartet formed by Benny Goodman in 1936. |
 |
Kaminsky Connection,
a band led by Tony Davis which combines the hard-hitting, free-wheeling spirit of the Condon bands
of the 30s and 40s with the sensitive and lyrical backing needed for the Lee Wiley repertoire
as interpreted by Judy Eames. |
 |
Dave Moorwood,
guitarist, banjoist and vocalist, leads the Rascals of Rhythm, a band dedicated to the swinging jazz
of the 1930s, and the Big Bear Stompers, a two-trumpet band
which takes as its models both the early 1923 King Oliver Creole Jazzband and the 1940s revivalist
Lu Watters Yerba Buena Band. |
