Horn Factory
Horn Factory perform an impressive and extensive range of contemporary big band jazz by composers such as Buddy Rich, Bob Mintzer, Quincy Jones, Oliver Nelson, Maynard Ferguson, James Morrison, Bobby Shew, Sammy Nestico and Gordon Goodwin, plus arrangements of music normally associated with smaller groups, including Thelonious Monk, Joe Henderson, Chuck Mangione, Chick Corea and Horace Silver.
Most of the charts have been composed in the last 15 years, bringing the big band genre right up to date with music that absolutely crackles with energy.
“There is nothing quite like the sound of a Big Band up close. Not to be missed!”
Ipswich Jazz and Blues Club
The IJBC is a not-for-profit organisation run by jazz and blues enthusiasts whose sole aim is to bring the very best acts to Suffolk’s county town.
On the afternoon of usually the second Sunday of the month we play host to some of the finest musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. Our intention is to make our sessions as affordable as we can and we also give local acts the chance to open proceedings before the main act takes to the stage.
Previously known as the Ipswich Jazz Club, we have incorporated more blues into our programming following the ongoing success of our annual blues night, many of which were sell-outs.
We very much hope to see you soon and don’t forget before the gig you can enjoy a delicious Sunday lunch in the acclaimed Venue 16 restaurant. IJBC ticket holders get a 10% discount off their food bill but do book beforehand as the restaurant gets very busy.
