The John Shillito
Select Six
John Shillito's Select Six is an "occasional band" assembled for special
occasions and festivals and is
making a welcome return to Morwellham Quay.
John Shillito needs little introduction to audiences in the South West. His outstanding
and perfectly
delivered trumpet style is based on the late Henry Red Allen, and his vocals are full of
expression and
feeling.
Joining him in the talented front line of the Select Six are John Wurr, on clarinet and
alto sax, who is
amongst the most articulate and distinctive reedman around, and Bobby Fox's attacking and
inspirational
trombone style makes him instantly recognisable.
The swinging rhythm section includes John Whitlock on banjo and guitar, Bob Jarvis on
electric bass and a guest drummer
The Atlantic
View Trio
If the swing music of Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra,
Michael Buble and Jamie Cullum is your thing, then
you will love the sound of the Atlantic View Trio. This dynamic and versatile outfit
feature the best from the Jazz Standards Songbook along with the occasional modern jazz
tune to test their capabilities!
The amazing footwork of Roger on bass pedals and his
smooth sounding vocals along with John's multi instrumentalist talent, gives this trio the
full sound of a quintet. Barrie complements the line up with his solid drumming and
percussion.
The trio comprises Roger Miners on piano, bass pedals and vocals, John Woolams on tenor
and soprano saxes, flute and clarinet and Barrie Nichollson drums and percussion.
The Harry S.
Fulcher Sextet
Harry S Fulcher puts the Sextet together to play straight-ahead jazz with his favourite
players: it's
as simple as that!
Harry is a classically trained musician and has played jazz and rock music since he was
young. He works regulariy with his own jazz groups,and is also a member of other bands
playing free/modern jazz, salsa/latin, funk/fusion,orchestral and R&B.
Whilst playing mainly tenor saxophone, he is also an accomplished musician on clarinetand
piano.
The Sextet is a great meeting of sympathetic spirits,
all mutual fans of each other. The burning front line of Harry S. Fulcher (reeds). Ken
Church (vibes), Dhevdhas Nair (piano) and Neil Burns (guitar) get a fire lit under them by
Marcus Vergette on double bass and drummer Dave Sheen.
