The band are lead by charismatic singer/songwriter Kevin Fitzsimmons; an accomplished singer whose evocatively powerful, earthy vocal avoids delivering the usual cliches.Theirs is an engaging brand of creative mainstream jazz that is a blend of West Coast cool, sparkling rhythms, jazzy lounge sounds, imaginative pop re-works plus some pleasing originals. Jazz Wurx' musicans are admired individually among jazz fans and together with singer/songwriter Kevin Fitzsimmons have enjoyed sell-out dates at Ronnie Scotts, a one hour live concert on Jazz FM plus successful dates at other London Jazz Clubs such as The Hideaway, Boisdale Canary Wharf & Bulls Head Barnes. And have been particularly well-received at Jazz Clubs like Jagz in Ascot, Brentwood Jazz Club (Spikes Place), Beckenham Jazz Club and the like. At live gigs they relish stamping their mark on carefully chosen jazz standards & American Songbook gems, as well as adding interesting new jazz improvisations to some iconic & contemporary pop. They also give a taste of some of Kevin Fitz's quirky off-beat original songs (inc. a couple written in collaboration with Jools Holland saxo
