Jazz @ St John's Arts Centre,
St John's Walk, Market St. Old Harlow, CM17 0AJ ADM £10

Thurs 26th January @ 8PM -
Jackie Free's Chicagoans with Rico Tomasso, John Crocker, Tim Huskisson,
Murray Salmon & John Petters

Jackie leads this fine ensemble specialising in Jazz ala Eddie Condon. Now
84, Jackie has an incredible pedigree - including playing with Louis
Armstrong, working with Billy Butterfield and recording with Yank Lawson,
Wild Bill Davison and Art Hodes.

This concert has another Louis connection - Rico met the great man when he
was a boy - a meeting which inspired him and led to his recent British Jazz
Award. This will be Rico's first visit to St John's.

Thurs 23rd February - The Original Dixieland Jass Band Centenary
Celebration. 8PM

This will be a very special concert celebrating 100 years since the first
jazz records were made by the ODJB - a white five piece band from New
Orleans. On 31st January 1917 they made a test recording for Columbia
records, which was rejected. A month later they recorded "Livery Stable
Blues" and Dixie Jass Band One-step for Victor, which became a huge hit and
kicked off the jazz age.

Featured in this tribute will be Allen Beechey, cornet, Tim Huskisson,
clarinet, Graham Hughes, trombone, Dave Browning, piano and John Petters,
drums.
