The Alibis Jazz Band

About

THE ALIBIS Jazz Band channel the hippest in Blues, Bop and Boogaloo, playing fiery fresh jazz from a foundation deeply entrenched in the roots of the genre. Influences include the big tenor sounds of Dexter Gordon, Jimmy Smith’s screaming Organ, Papa Jo Jones’ stomping swing feel and Barney Kessel’s melancholic guitar tone. After meeting at a top UK conservatoire some ten years ago they have played and toured together continuously. They play with infectious energy and fluidity, bringing their own foot tapping flair to the classics, in a variety of line-ups. They are residents at many of London’s top live music venues and have performed for some of the world’s most glamorous private parties and events.
