The Button Band will be bringing their own original British instrumental jazz to West Cornwall in May with a performance at the St Ives Jazz Club.
Following their critically acclaimed debut album in 2015, the Button Band have been busy performing at venues in the London area and are embarking on a UK wide tour to promote the release of their second album Emilie.
This quartet was founded in 2012 by guitarist Andy Button, alongside Andy Woolf on tenor sax, Dave Manington on bass and Marek Dorcik on drums. Between them they have worked with such luminaries as Gwilym Simcock, Kenny Wheeler, Mark Lockheart, Mark Anthony Turnage and Marius Neset.
All four members make regular appearances on the London jazz scene and the band featured in last year’s prestigious London Jazz Festival. The group blends melodic content with sophisticated forms and incorporates elements of various genres from country, blues and South-African township jazz to create highly melodic, unpretentious, accessible, modern British instrumental jazz.
