Horn Factory
Horn Factory perform an impressive and extensive range of contemporary big band jazz by composers such as Buddy Rich, Bob Mintzer, Quincy Jones, Oliver Nelson, Maynard Ferguson, James Morrison, Bobby Shew, Sammy Nestico and Gordon Goodwin, plus arrangements of music normally associated with smaller groups, including Thelonious Monk, Joe Henderson, Chuck Mangione, Chick Corea and Horace Silver.
Most of the charts have been composed in the last 15 years, bringing the big band genre right up to date with music that absolutely crackles with energy.
“There is nothing quite like the sound of a Big Band up close. Not to be missed!”
Jazz by the Waterfront
Since 2011 Jazz by the Waterfront has presented evenings of great live music at St Peter’s by the Waterfront.
Jazz by the Waterfront was setup by the late Vic Lowne, the man who spearheaded the conversion of St Peter’s by the Waterfront into the home of the Ipswich Hospital Band. His love for all things jazz was the driving force that started our bi-monthly evenings of jazz of top local and national acts.
The evenings have continued since this time and have featured acts from all over the country performing to countless audiences, including many regular jazz lovers, who we love to see at every show.
