The Dime Notes – small band, huge swing!Blues drenched clarinet-driven 1920’s jazz with London's hard-swinging vintage jazz band.The Dime Notes have a reputation for their unorthodox approach to the blues-drenched sounds of clarinet-driven 1920’s New Orleans jazz. They’ve toured extensively their repertoire of stomps, blueses and forgotten gems of the era from musicians such as Jelly Roll Morton, Johnny Dodds, and Red Nichols.
The Dime Notes are fronted by Chris Barber’s long-time clarinetist David Horniblow, a reputable figure on jazz stages worldwide, and Sam Watts, prize winning pianist/composer with an eclectic range of influences. The band is anchored by the unstoppable pulse of London’s knockout rhythm section featuring guitarist Dave Kelbie, accompanist in Evan Christopher’s Django a la Creole, John Etheridge’s Sweet Chorus and bassist Louis Thomas, well known and in demand across many genre boundaries with his huge sound and stylistic versatility.
The Dime Notes present a fresh take on a timeless style, emphasising the propulsive grooves and sultry melodies which made early jazz revolutionary, controversial, and wildly popular.
