ROGER MARKS'
ARMADA JAZZ BAND
"...quite simply the best band in the West.."
brochure Lynton Jazz Weekend: Nick Holt 1992
Re-formed in 1992 by public demand, Roger Marks' Armada Jazz Band have long been established at the forefront of Britain's traditional Jazz scene. Enjoying great popularity around the jazz festivals, they have also benefited from good CD airplay from the BBC in particular, and the magazine critics have generously acknowledged the band's performance standards with some stunning rave reviews in the jazz press.
The leader's philosophy is to use the musicians' fulsome talents to make a unique style of traditional Jazz, free from constraint or taboo, and to perform it with great skill, verve and enthusiasm.
As befits the busy schedule of a successful working band, the datesheet includes all kinds of bookings, from wedding reception to garden party, from dinner dance to corporate promotion and from summer ball to riverboat shuffle, where initial contact is, more often than not, the result of the personal recommendation of a satisfied customer.
The recorded history of Roger Marks and the Armada Jazz Band is featured as No.62 in the Eurojazz Discos series of discographies compiled by Gerard Bielderman, Leie 18, 8032 ZG Zwolle, Netherlands.
