Kent Street Riverside Stompers - The Jazz Club of WA

The Kent Street Riverside Stompers play jazz predominantly from the 1920s-1940s. At that time, it was not uncommon to use a bass sax as the bass instrument; a notable feature of bands led by Bix Beiderbecke and some of the Louis Armstrong combos. The feel is a rather laid back, lilting 2 beats to the bar rhythm and of course this was a truly golden era of song writing. The band has a wonderful front line of very talented players – Steve Searle, Mike Weise, and Lindsay Timms, whilst in the back line, in addition to Bob Appleyard on vocals and drums, and Tony Eardley on piano and Martin Jones on bass sax, Aaron Woolley joins the group on guitar. You are sure to enjoy a program of classic jazz numbers and wonderful vocals.
