“I have always been passionate about bringing jazz music to places you wouldn’t normally associate it with. We wanted to give local bands and musicians a unique opportunity to perform to broader audiences and to work with some of the very best jazz artists in the world. It’s all about sharing this joyous music and passing the torch on from musician to musician. Swanage Jazz Club will be presenting an eclectic range of first-class music which goes from the Great American Songbook all the way through to classic bebop or blues with a dash of soul. As Duke Ellington once said: ‘There are simply two kinds of music - good music and the other kind.’
