POTATO HEAD JAZZ BAND: STOMPIN’ AROUND
Straight-ahead swinging Dixieland is not a music form normally associated with Southern Spain, but here come Potato Head Jazz Band, hot out of Granada in Andalucía to put that to rights.
Potato Head Jazz Band are no overnight sensation – they’ve been stomping their stuff throughout Spain since 2003 – and it shows in their no-holds-barred straight-ahead approach to jazz. Stompin’ Around showcases the musically sharp, energetic approach to early jazz that has seen them in demand at festivals from Birmingham to Dresden.
