Listed as Indiana Jazz Orchestra with Jane Griffiths 1964 Market Hall but might be wrong?
Lloyd Johnson… Who are this lot?….whats the name of the band????…
Alan Esdaile… I think it is Indiana Jazz Orchestra but I think many musicians would play in multiple bands. Looks like they are having a great time.
Brian Hills… here are some pics from early days in/around Hastings. The ‘Expedient Brass Band’ and the ‘Indiana Jazz Orchestra’ with Jane Griffiths doing the vocals. Trevor Richards leads his own New Orleans Trio for some time now. And that is me on saxophone.
Geoff Peckham… Fantastic! Any idea what year(s) these may have been?
Alan Esdaile… In the street photo, looks like the shop is called SMART!
Geoff Peckham… Yay! That should be your new front page, Alan!
