Kaleidoscope Traditional Jazz Band

Kaleidoscope Traditional Jazz Band, the perfect accompaniment to a summer party or reception! Dressed in whites, stripes and boaters, giving the look of an authentic 1920's style jazz band.

Traditional Jazz reached its zenith in the 1920’s when ladies shortened their tresses and bobbed their hair. Also sometimes referred to as a Dixieland or New Orleans Jazz, this music is about spirited ensemble playing with an emphasis on Rags, Marches & Stomps. Typically, a ‘Trad’ Band will include acoustic instrumentation such as Clarinet, Banjo, Brass Bass, Trumpet, Trombone. Percussion & Piano can be included in larger groups.

The Kaleidoscope Traditional Jazz Trio, Quartet & Quintet have performed at many events around the Hampshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Kent & Sussex counties during recent years and are often in demand to travel further afield!

Regular venues include: HMS Warrior, Goodwood House, Chewton Glen, Henley Regatta, Spinnaker Tower, Royal Ascot and the Tower Of London. Regular venues include: Lainston House, Highclere, Tithe Barn, HMS Warrior, Goodwood House, Chewton Glen, Henley Regatta, Langrish House, Spinnaker Tower, Royal Ascot and the Tower Of London.

“On behalf of all at Southampton Solent University, I’d like to thank the Traditional Jazz Band for your contribution to last night’s celebrations. The band were magnificent and played a key part in creating a party atmosphere for our celebrations. They were well received by all the staff and VIPs who attended the celebrations, with the rendition of ‘Oh when the saints go marching in’ whilst they lead 450 guests out of the University and into the park. This was just the icing on the cake we needed. I hope that we can call on you again in the future.” Kaleidoscope Traditional Jazz Band at Southampton Solent University, Southampton, Hampshire
