Garforth Jazz Rock Band is a community/youth big band with members from Leeds, Wakefield and the surrounding region that has over the years collaborated with an impressive list of musicians.
GJRB was formed in the October of 2003. Since this time the band has performed on more than 125 individual occasions! The band has had two tours, the most recent to Dublin earlier this year and the other to the Black Forest region of Germany in the summer of 2006.
Over the years of its existence the band has collaborated, in the form of workshops, projects,commissions and joint gigs with an impressive list of musicians including Dave O’Higgins, Barnaby Dickinson, The Grand Union Orchestra, Claude Deppa, Ken Marley, Hannah Meriden, Dennis Rollins, Sean Hargreaves, Harvie S and, most recently, Soweto Kinch.
During the course of our gigging schedule we have come to perform on the same stage and at the same events as such artists as Dennis Rollins, Sean Hargreaves, Chumbawamba, Courtney Pine, James Taylor Quartet, Kate Rusby, Soweto Kinch and Jazz Jamaica to name a few.
The band is directed by jazz pianist and festival organiser (also leader of the Fruit Tree band) Dave Evans who is constantly looking for new members to join this exciting, eclectic and sometimes anarchic band.
