ANOTHER ECLECTIC FROM THE 3 B's AT MILESTONES JAZZ CLUB
The next concert at Milestones Jazz Club on Sunday 5 July heralds the return of one of the most popular bands to appear at the club - The 3 B's featuring Reg Webb.
The 3 B's are made up of three respected figures on the East Anglian music scene that make no apology for their eclectic mixture of styles and influences.
The charismatic and intensely soulful Reg Webb (vocals/keyboards), Lincoln Anderson (bass) and Andrew Dowding (drums) are all accomplished musicians that fuse anything from standards by Duke Ellington, the modernism of Herbie Hancock to the grooves of Stevie Wonder or Steely Dan.
As individual players they have worked with established names as diverse as John McLaughlin, Shirley Bassey, Lenny Kravitz, Joe Pass and Roland Kirk, but it is with their own simmering mix of modern jazz - jazz standards, blues and full blooded electric fusion - that they enjoy themselves the most.
As well as Reg's wonderfully expressive voice, the bands genuinely exciting music contains all the elements of a great improvising group - a constant supply of fresh ideas, shifting rhythms and a sense of bluesy urgency to hold everyone's attention.
The band will be performing a number of songs from their CD, 'Blind, Black and Breathless', along with a few newer pieces. Listen to the music of The 3 B's at http://www.milestonesjazzclub.co.uk All Milestones gigs are held on the first Sunday of every month and take place at Hotel Hatfield, Esplanade, Lowestoft with the doors opening at 8pm.
