TERRY SEABROOK WITH JAZZ SMUGGLERS NEXT SUNDAY




Just to show you something a bit different. Spanish Sketch is one of several pieces composed for the Associated Boards exams by Terry Seabrook.
He is one of the country's greats in jazz, composer, arranger and leader of the famous Cubana Bop band. There is no other British band to touch this one for Latin Jazz.
Terry is coming on Sunday at 7.00 to work with us on three or four pieces we want at to do in a Jazz funk style. Terry's first ever band was a jazz funk band.

Can you all bring please, Greensleeves (with the re-harmonised chords), So What, (with Dave's intro) Feel like Making love, we'll have to arrange it, vocal Maria, and Chameleon.
