Roy Williams, Enrico Tomasso, Jim Douglas, Tom Kincaid

Clarinettist and saxophonist, John Burgess leads a hot dixieland and swing band featuring Roy Williams (trombone), Enrico Tomasso (trumpet) Jim Douglas )guitar and banjo) and Tom Kincaid (piano), recreating the classic sounds of one of Scotland's greatest jazz musicians. The Alex Welsh Band was a musical powerhouse in the traditional jazz boom of the last 50's, playing music that spanned from hot New Orleans and Chicago style music inspired by Muggsy Spanier and Eddie Condon to the mainstream swing of Ruby Braff. Burgess knows this music better than just about anyone else, so let him take you back to hear jazz Welsh-style.
