Jambone is anything but conventional, aiming to provide a range of fresh repertoire and performance challenges for its members.
Jambone is a jazz ensemble directed by trombonist and conductor Jason Holcomb. They have performed at many events and venues alongside some of the top influential jazz musicians in the country.
Recently Jambone supported Ronnie Scott’s All Stars at The Glasshouse, and Soweto Kinch at the Durham Jazz Festival, as well as headlining on The Glasshouse stages and performing around the region, and making their own studio recordings.
Jambone comprises trumpet, trombone, saxophone and flute sections locked together by piano, guitar, bass and drums. The musical mission of the band is anything but conventional, aiming to provide a range of fresh repertoire and performance challenges for its members.
Jambone meet on a Saturday afternoon a The Glasshouse and regularly end their rehearsals with a performance on our concourse. In February 2024 we took the band to Glasgow to work with Marco Cafolla, and gave them a chance to bond socially as well as musically.
Younger and less experienced students may be interested in our non auditioned jazz ensemble, Jazz Attack.
