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
All the music performed has been arranged by Andy, and the repertoire is a mixture of original compositions and jazz standards. The aim has been to stay true to the traditional big band sound and instrumentation whilst playing arrangements informed by current jazz styles.
The review of the Cresswell Centre gig can be read here, giving you a flavour of what you can expect this night.
