A Tribute To Benny Goodman

The Julian Bliss Septet: Julian Bliss clarinet; Neal Thornton Piano; Jim Hart Vibes; Martin Shaw Trumpet; Colin Oxley Guitar; Tim Thornton Bass; Matt Skelton Drums

Recreating the exciting sound of swing from the 30s and 40s, Julian Bliss’s dynamic virtuosity leads his septet through some of the great tunes of the swing era, staying true to the authentic feel but naturally with a modern twist. Julian Bliss says “I decided in the summer of 2010 that I wanted to start my own Jazz group. I enlisted the help of Neal Thornton (Piano) to help make this dream a reality. We spent months listening to every version of each tune we could find, and putting together our own versions while still being mindful of the light and fun feel Goodman captured all those years ago. We then had the task of putting the rest of the band together. We were specifically looking for musicians that had a great interest in the Swing era, and I must say we couldn’t have picked a better set of players.”
