Coming right up 22nd February 2026, starts 12:30 at The Farmhouse BBJO playing to a packed room, get there early if you want a seat. Food served throughout the performance, great bar and nice people. Some new charts as always on this gig featuring outstanding South Coast musicians.

BBJO draws from the legendary libraries of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Ted Heath, Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, and Rob McConnell. Whether you’re after high-energy swing, lush ballads, or toe-tapping rhythm sections, their performances strike the perfect chord between tradition and innovation.

With a vast repertoire that includes timeless hits from the Great American Songbook, you’ll hear classics made famous by George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, and Harold Arlen — as well as vocal tributes to the likes of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., and more.

Music is meant to be felt, not just heard — and The Breakout Brass Jazz Orchestra brings an emotional, thrilling energy to every stage they step on.

Sold out and standing ovation, headlining the Le Touquet Winter Jazz Festival 2024, great crowd and amazing response from the residents of the town, grateful to Music For Ever France for setting this up, we’ll be back…

This is a Calisthenic Study that I use regularly, it should be treated in the same fashion as a Carmine Caruso Exercise, stay calm and relaxed and keep the air moving gently throughout. When you get to the point where you can proceed no further, take a break for 10 minutes and then resume at the point you left off. I am very much an exponent of the Bill Adam Method and use his advisory words to remind myself how important it is to keep a full beautiful sound always in all practice periods… go be awesome.
