Marmalade Jazz Quintet

Marmalade Jazz Quintet play Barnaby's Lounge on Sunday 15 November, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. It's an afternoon set, so you'll be out well before tea. They're a five-piece led by double bassist Andy Slack, and they specialise in the lesser-known side of jazz and Latin tunes — the sort of things that don't always make the standard songbooks. They describe their approach as "relaxed craft and exuberance", which is a fair way of saying they play with a bit of ease and a fair amount of energy.

There's a good mix of experience across the band. Saxophonist Tom Branson is a young music graduate who took a first-class honours degree in Jazz Performance from the University of Chichester. He's been playing for over 14 years, gigging around Brighton and across the country, and abroad with the Big Bands Brighton Jazz Mafia and Lewes Big Band, the travelling LDN2BTN, funk rock band Beatroot and free jazz band Hill Collective. Drummer Graham Allen comes from a different era, having cut his teeth in the 1980s with the Jonathan Lewis Quartet, playing Welsh jazz clubs and festivals alongside Thad Kelly and Howard Britz. These days he's with the Sussex Jazz Orchestra, Umfulu Trio and The Jazz Mothers, led by Dave Morgan.

On keyboards is Chris Barnes, who's played piano, keyboards, drums and percussion for 45 years. In the 1990s and 2000s he spent a stint as writer and MD of the original jazz funk act B-Hut. Together with Kjell Berglund on trumpet, they round out the quintet.

It's a Sunday afternoon slot at Barnaby's Lounge, 46 Robertson Street, Hastings TN34 1HL, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. Tickets are £6+ per person.
