about
The Nova Scotia Jazz Band is firmly in the tradition of the groups led by Eddie Condon, Muggsy Spanier, Bix Beiderbecke and Alex Welsh. Featuring the world class cornet of Mike Daly, the banjo wizardry of Duncan Findlay, the elegantly swinging string bass of Ken MacDonald and the clarinet and saxophones of John Burgess this sweet and hot quartet are a fresh take on the classic jazz style. Toe tapping and up lifting swinging jazz that's guaranteed to leave you smiling! "Burgess's clarinet and sax bubble and simmer their way through the Nova Scotia's music, shooting it out with the rich toned cornet of Mike Daly, the skittering banjo of Duncan Findlay and Ken MacDonald's limber double bass…irrepressibly stylish interpretations of classic Dixieland jazz." Jim Gilchrist, The SCOTSMAN "the classic Dixieland model, played with direct, bluesy concision and presented with humour and creativity" Rob Adams, GLASGOW HERALD User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
