Rory Simmons Website Launch

Top UK trumpeter Rory Simmons has just launched his very own website. You may have heard Rory at a couple of our gigs a few years ago, great stuff! :)

If you've got a spare 5 minutes then looking at his website (http://www.rorysimmons.com) wouldn't be a waste of time!

Original compositions to feature soon!

Jazz Breakdown are to soon upload recordings of original material to this website (click the "multimedia" link above).

The band have been busy composing over the past few months and unsuspecting regulars at our gigs will have had these pieces 'tried' out on them! We observed their reactions and have laid the best of our efforts down in the studio.

After some minor post-production these tracks will be appearing very soon. Watch this space!

Jazz Cafe Gig a Huge Success

Jazz Breakdown played at the renowned Barbican Jazz Cafe on Sunday 27th October 2002 as a one off performance from the sextet.

Raving reviews for the group fronted by a fantastic vocal performance by Charlotte have led to a request for 6 more gigs in the new year, averaging one a month.

We hope to see you there!
