The Original Panama Jazz Band:
A Traditional foot-tapping Jazz Session in a relaxed mood. Including: Lady Be Good, Night Ferry, Autumn Leaves, High Society, Rosetta, S’wonderful, Lady be good, Montmartre.Established in 1954 by a nucleus of schoolboys in Wirral, The OPJB has a style of clean crisp Dixieland and New Orleans jazz and is well respected amongst musicians and audiences alike. Rather than sticking to a particular idiom the repertoire comes from every era and influence. Most importantly, it is played with competence and a flair for good ensemble work, dynamics and enthusiasm ideally suited to the many guests who have featured with the band, including Humph, Kenny Ball, Roy Williams, Alan Elsdon, Pete Allen, the late Campbell Burnap, George Chisholm and Tommy Burton.
Always based in Wirral, it has held residencies for all of this time, including a 15-year stint at The Black Horse in West Kirby, The Eagle & Crown in Upton Village, The Grange in Moreton and two long stints at The Hotel Victoria New Brighton. Currently they can be heard every Wednesday at Upton Tennis Club, Upton Village, Wirral.
Tickets: £15 . Reduced prices available. The ticket price includes wine and buffet.
