Rocking In Rhythm

This exciting new show has been touring Britain, topping the bill at major jazz festivals and played Ronnie Scott's for a second sellout season at Christmas 2009.

Of the show - which stars the legendary rock/blues PAUL JONES (the Manfreds, the Blues Band and Radio 2) along with DIGBY FAIRWEATHER'S HALF DOZEN (four-time winner of the British Jazz Award for 'top small group 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009') - Digby says: "this is the most exciting project of my musical career so far! I've admired Paul ever since I watched and listened to him topping the charts back in the l960s and as well as being a personal idol he's a superb musical partner who loves singing jazz and plays wonderful jazz harmonica. After two years of collaboration - since we met at the late George Melly's last appearance at his 'Testimonial Concert' at 100 Oxford Street which Paul kindly compered - we've now decided to work much more regularly together; there's a new live album out soon and we're set for great things in 2010!"

PAUL JONES SAYS: "when I first teamed up with Digby in 2007 I thought 'this gives me the chance to sing all those great jazz standards I love'. While he was thinking 'this gives me the chance to play all that rock music I used to love back in the l960s and after!'. So ever since then it's been a delightful - and a rewarding - musical compromise, and we're both looking forward to a busy and exciting future in 2010 and beyond!"

'ROCKING IN RHYTHM' brings you a non-stop show which will appeal to every audience. It combines Paul Jones' legendary hits - 'Doo Wah Diddy' 'Pretty Flamingo' 'I've been a bad bad boy' and more with the riveting jazz of Britain's newest all-star band 'Digby Fairweather's Half Dozen', teaming with Paul to bring you the immortal songs of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan and classics from the Great American Songbook.
