Sarah Spencer's Sax 'n' Bone Band
On a gig with the Harlem Jazz Orchestra, Sarah was talking with Zoltan Sagi, who said that he wanted to play a New Orleans Revival-style gig with himself and Sarah, returning to the flavour of his days of playing with Dan Pawson. Inspired, Sarah has formed a band of some of the best musicians in the UK who play in that idiom. She decided to highlight the 2-reed front line and go without a trumpet player but, instead have a trombone player. Rob Pearce joins them and makes the band sound about as authentically New Orleans dance hall music as possible.
Personnel:
Zoltan Sagi - alto sax
Sarah Spencer - tenor sax
Rob Pearce - trombone
Dickie White - banjo
Jim Swinnerton - string bass
Graham Smith - drums
