The Great American Songbook

Andrew Linham is bringing a small jazz band of incredibly talented musicians to celebrate the wonderful repertoire found in the Great American Songbook. From American popular songs to jazz standards, these early 20th century pieces and have been reimagined and explored by countless jazz musicians through history.

This band will feature local jazz singer Amy Hollingsworth, internationally acclaimed pianist Tom Millar, bassist and vocalist Charlie Pyne who has recently released her second album to critical acclaim and award winning drummer Katie Patterson.
