Tenement Jazz Band // The Blue Arrow // 24.02.19

Tenement Jazz band are a traditional jazz band formed in early
2018 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Brought together by their shared love of
New Orleans music, and comprising musicians from various corners of
Edinburgh’s vibrant jazz scene, they are on a journey of exploration
back to the roots of the music that they play.

Their aims are to
capture the raw energy and excitement of the early jazz recordings, to
find and revive lesser-heard songs and cultivate their own
interpretations of these, all in order to captivate experienced jazzers,
dancing persons, and uninitiated ears alike.

In their brief existence so far they have performed at Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee and
Glasgow Jazz Festivals, collaborated with various musicians via their
own Cellar Session residency, and performed their own hit show on the
Edinburgh Fringe telling the story of the 'Red Hot Roots of Jazz' from
turn of the century New Orleans and beyond.
