The Band on the Wall Manchester feature these March jazz gigs:
Mon 17th March: 2014 Greater Manchester Jazz Orchestra and Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra
GM Music Hub presents the Greater Manchester Jazz Orchestra and Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra (directed by Richard Iles and Dave Little) The reputation of Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra is known all over the world with the band producing over a dozen CD recordings and having worked with some of the biggest names in jazz. The newly established Greater Manchester Jazz Orchestra brings together the very best young musicians from the local youth jazz orchestras
Tues 18 March: The AMC Trio
AMC Trio are one of the longest running groups on the Slovakian Jazz scene. Inspired originally by classic American Jazz trios, they quickly found that audiences responded more to their own compositions than recycled Jazz standards. Expect the unexpected as AMC Trio bring their Eastern European take to the classic Jazz Trio.
