Pedigree Jazz Band with Roger Marks at The Concorde

About

Chris Walker and Roger Marks share a fondness for the style of jazz popularised by the likes of Chris Barber, Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball in the late 50s and early 60s; a period that became known infamously as The Trad Boom.

Many of the record releases that made it into the hit parade at that time are seldom to be heard in the jazz clubs of today, perhaps because the likes of Midnight in Moscow, Green Leaves of Summer, Chimes Blues and Whistling Rufus require a certain amount of rehearsal to do them justice.

They are, however, included in the Tribute to Trad show professionally presented by Chris and Roger, together with some informative commentary, anecdotes and, of course, humour, which has resulted in every appearance in their National May and June 2013 tours being immediately rebooked for return visits.
