Jazz at the Movies coming to St Mary's Church in Aylesbury

The event, which is a regular sell-out at Ronnie Scott’s and the Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room will come to St Mary's on December 19.

The group features evocative vocals by acclaimed singer Joanna Eden, bewitching saxophone and clarinet from Mark Crooks (of the John Wilson Orchestra) and atmospheric textures and grooves from Chris Ingham (piano), Arnie Somogyi (bass) and George Double (drums).

The group puts their own spin on classic movie themes and soundtrack songs from silver screen sources both familiar and obscure.

Tunes from films including The Aristocrats and The Fabulous Baker Boys, and songs by Burt Bacharach, John Barry, Leslie Bricusse, Steven Sondheim, John Dankworth, and many others feature.

Organiser Frank Wormold, said: "With their stockings full of 20th century classics and curiosities, Jazz at the Movies and their Swinging Christmas show is a delightfully jazzy blend of the sublime, sentimental and plain silly - the perfect way to begin the festivities.

"A one off gig not to be missed.. Please book early to avoid disappointment!!"
