The Hot Jazz Aces

Led by the exuberant trombonist Andy Hillier, the Hot Jazz Aces play an infectious variety of New Orleans, Dixieland and classic jazz. The young members of the band bring a real freshness to a style of music that has been enjoyed all over the world for generations. They create a warm rapport with audiences wherever they appear, performing popular vocal numbers as well as traditional instrumental arrangements. The ability to call upon either clarinet or tenor sax, banjo or guitar, sousaphone or double bass gives ample opportunity for variety in the band`s repertoire - from early 20's dance music to mid 30's swing. So with their high standards of musicianship and respect for the traditions of vintage jazz, the band produce an authentic sound which has both a unique and original character. Listen to their music and style here on the website.
