| Performance Notes | The Ben Cox Band are a fresh young quartet on the UK Jazz scene. Playing music from their shared passions for great tunes from the jazz songbook as well as original songs, the band have a natural affinity for underlying grooves and melody. Their inspiration is drawn from some great songwriters and singers, from Mel Torme and Tony Bennett, to Paul Simon, James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. Their debut album This Waiting Game received 4* in The Telegraph and shot into the Top Jazz albums of 2015. Original music forms an increasing part of the bands live performances and has been well received at numerous gigs in the last year. Twice selling out Ronnie Scotts and with sold gigs at Cheltenham Jazz Festival and their album launch at Pizza Express Live in Soho, the Ben Cox Band are on the up. You will have heard them on JazzFM and the Jamie Cullum show. |
