The Jazztet

 

Formed originally to make a recording with a handpicked rhythm section.

Three CD's have been released since March 2000, Refletions - March 2000, Kaleidoscope- June 2002 Keep Swingin'  - October 2004, proving extremely popular, and making John a reluctant band leader, as demand for the Jazztet to play at many jazz venues, festivals and functions increases.

Jack Emblow, Liz Fletcher, Roy Willliams, Digby Fairweather, Alan Barnes and the American trombonist Jim Fryer are amongst guests who have appeared with :-
JOHN HALLAM - Reeds
STEVE MOORE - Piano "is an absolute delight to work with, a rare breed of piano player with the ability to switch from sympathetic accompanist to inventive soloist."
KEN LEIGH - Drums, "is one of the best drummers around and a real musician. He is a favourite with everyone he accompanies for his sense of timing, phrasing, dynamics and natural swing"
DAVE CAPP - Bass "a bass player with a unique ability to blend into many musical surroundings, creates with his relaxed approach and good humour something which is 'just Dave'"

 

Bands to catch John playing with at the moment are:

The John Hallam Jazztet
Jeff Barnhart's British Band / Quartet / Duo & The Mr Men Quartet
The Denise and Tony Lawrence Festival Band
