West Jesmond Rhythm Kings

West Jesmond Rhythm Kings are based in Newcastle upon Tyne, in the far North-East of England. Founded in 1985 by trumpeter Mike Durham, their aim is to recreate the classic small-band jazz of the 1920s, and especially to revive the more neglected numbers from the golden era. Though there is no written music, the band do employ "head arrangements", playing verses as well as choruses and employing plenty of harmonized breaks, modulations, intros and codas to make the tunes more interesting for the listener...but with plenty of space left for solos and collective improvisation.
