Sounds of the double bass are returning to town for another evening of 'Jazz in the Theatre'.

Following on from Annika Skoogh sings Anita O'Day earlier this month, Bridport Arts Centre will welcome The Old Malt House Jazz Band.

The swing and jazz ensemble from Bristol have a passion for the trad jazz of the 1920s to 40s. As well as playing at festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and Fanny's Meadow, The Old Malt House Jazz Band has played venues across the country from London to the Brecon Beacons and Cornwall, much to the delight of local jazz lovers.

The band is led by Joseph Trudgeon and his regular collaborator, saxophonist Greg Sterland. They will be joined by their rhythm section of Dan Somers on piano, Mike Kennedy on double bass and Barney C Rockford on drums.

The band's set includes Louis Armstrong's Dinah , Billie Holiday's Me, Myself and I (Are All in Love With You) and Can't we be Friends by Red Nichols and his Five Pennies, not to mention Little Ann Street Stomp penned by Joseph Trudgeon himself in a 1920s style.

The Old Malt House Jazz Band will be at Bridport Arts Centre on Friday, November 13 from £8. Tickets cost £12 and are available here or from Bridport Tourist Information Centre by calling 01308 424901.
