The Dutch Lewis Broadband
An entertaining TV and Broadcast standard professional band
• Stable personnel, rehearsed and reliable
• Massive, across the styles repertoire
Described by The Daily Telegraph as “… one of the most entertaining jazz groups in the UK”, The Dutch Lewis Broadband works continuously across the whole spectrum of jazz venues; festivals, clubs, hotels and private functions in the Midlands, UK and further afield.
The Sound
Live Jazz for dances, weddings, parties, club & pub gigs and corporate events
A blend of classic ‘Blue Note’ era modern jazz, tempered with 1940’s Be-Bop, 1930’s swing and a big slice of rhythm and blues features Dutch Lewis’s inimitable vocal styles recently described by a distinguished listener as “Tony Bennet meets Van Morrisson”.
A band that can play for dancing with Rhythm ‘n’ Blues and Soul never far away from the centre of things. They even have a proper ballroom dancing book when required, not to mention Italian and French songs and the justly famous Festive Season Songbook.
The band’s sound is built around the funky saxophones of Dutch and Jayne Lewis and their equal ability as vocalists both individually and in duets. Add some extra flavouring of flute and clarinet, simmer or bring to the boil with their great rhythm section, and the musical hotpot really cooks.
