The Albert All-Stars Big Band

Jazzata 40th anniversary concert series

This event has passed

A big band on stage with various instruments.

Featuring some of the finest musicians who work and live in our city, this 16-piece Jazz orchestra is led by Bristol trumpet legend Andy Hague.

Experience a night featuring the best quality soloists around; with the fiery Johnny Bruce (trumpet), saxophonists Ben Waghorn and Kevin Figes; the rare trombone talent of Raph Clarkson and possible the best rhythm section in the South West region, featuring the mighty piano playing of Jim Blomfield.

This is the first time our Lantern Hall has had a full size, jazz, Big Band, since its transformation; and the sound will be awesome.

Presented by Jazzata

Format: Seated

Age: All ages: (Under 16s to be accompanied by an adult)
