Two of the most celebrated swing musicians on the UK scene come together as an explosive duo, purveying the infectious music of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s with authentic, heartfelt relish.
Aussie multi-reedsman Duncan Hemstock has his musical roots in Benny Goodman and Edmund Hall (clarinet) and Lester Young (tenor sax) while trumpeter extraordinaire James Davison is equally at home with the BBC Big Band and the Echoes of Ellington Orchestra as with the London Symphony Orchestra. With Chris Ingham (piano), Simon Thorpe (bass) and George Double (drums).
Duncan Hemstock
London-based Australian swing clarinettist inspired by the King of Swing, Benny Goodman. 'Duncan's fluent and exciting clarinet constantly delights music lovers of all ages. In addition he plays booting tenor sax... In an age when jazz is regarded as yesterday's sound, he is evidence that swinging music has a very bright and exciting future' (John Petters).
