Music At OPEN Ealing

Orchard Cafe on Thursday 9 and Saturday 11 November

Introducing The Jelly Roll Jazz Band to OPEN on Thursday 9 November. With roots in trad dixieland jazz combined with original material, The Jelly Roll Jazz Band promises an unforgettable evening. Capable of playing for hours without repeating themselves. They cover a range of standards from the 1900s to the 1930s, including such favourites as Down By the Riverside, When the Saints and The Sheik of Araby. Their repertoire also features more recent hits like The Bare Necessities and Moon River, and they have even branched out into 90s pop with versions of My Heart Will Go On and Baby One More Time. Always keen to broaden their horizons, the band have recently begun writing original material, and they are currently working on a trad. jazz version of Stravinskys The Rite of Spring.Their influences include jazz greats such as Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton and Chris Barber. The eccentric humour of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band plays a big part in their performance style as well, often lending a slightly surreal edge to proceedings.

Returning to OPEN on Saturday 11 November are three acts:
