Nova Scotia Jazz Band

Formed by early in 2009 the Nova Scotia Jazz Band is firmly in the tradition of the groups led by Eddie Condon, Muggsy Spanier, Bix Beiderbecke and Alex Welsh. Featuring the world class cornet of Mike Daly, the banjo wizardry of Duncan Findlay, the swinging bass of Ken MacDonald and the clarinet and saxophones of John Burgess this sweet and hot quartet are a fresh take on the classic jazz style and a welcome addition to the long list of excellent groups from Edinburgh, Scotland which includes bands of the quality of Sandy Browns Jazz Men, Alex Welsh and his Band, The Climax Jazz Band, Old Bailey’s Jazz Advocates and Archie Semple’s Capitol Jazzband.
The bands third album, “If I Had You” is out on March 15th and will be available from the web site, good record stores, iTunes and Amazon.
