drumsAbout
Trumpeter Andy Hague first formed a big band back in 2005 to mark his 40th birthday. The idea was to showcase the wealth of jazz talent residing in Bristol, and to use as far as possible the musicians with whom Andy played most frequently. The band played a few gigs over the next couple of years at The Tobacco Factory, St George's and Swanage Jazz Festival, gaining excellent reviews
His band was superb, relaxed yet focussed, packed with serious soloists, Hague among them, the writing quite spell-binding – Jazz Journal
Now ten years on it's time to do it all again, this time as the Big 5-0 Band. This is a new line-up with quite a few different players to the original band, reflecting the changes in Andy's musical activities over the past decade. Debuting the line at The Cresswell Centre last October a near capacity audience were treated to a great night of big band sounds with top class soloists, time then for another run out, in more intimate surroundings...
