The Swanage Jazz Club at the Isle of Purbeck GC

In partnership with Hampstead Jazz Club - which has become one of the most prestigious jazz venues in London since it first opened its doors four years ago - The Swanage Jazz Club at the Isle of Purbeck GC will be presenting a series of monthly shows featuring an array of world class homegrown and international jazz musicians.

One of the key principles of the Swanage Jazz Club at the Isle of Purbeck GC will be to support the best musicians in Dorset, affording them an opportunity to play with the crème de la crème of the jazz world.

"I was extremely excited when we first came up with the idea of launching a dedicated monthly jazz club at the Isle Of Purbeck Golf Club," explains Mayank Patel, owner of the Hampstead Jazz Club.

"I have always been passionate about bringing jazz music to places you wouldn't normally associate it with. We wanted to give local bands and musicians a unique opportunity to perform to broader audiences and to work with some of the very best jazz artists in the world. It's all about sharing this joyous music and passing the torch on from musician to musician. Swanage Jazz Club will be presenting an eclectic range of first-class music which goes from the Great American Songbook all the way through to classic bebop or blues with a dash of soul. As Duke Ellington once said: "˜There are simply two kinds of music - good music and the other kind.'

Concerts will take place on Friday or Saturday evenings on a monthly basis. The Swanage Jazz Club at the Isle of Purbeck GC will offer dinner and music in the dining area or music and drinks / snacks in the bar.

The Swanage Jazz Club are pleased to welcome from South London, The Soul Immigrants fine purveyors of energetic Soul, Jazz Funk (& beyond) Masterminded by Nitin Sawhney (before his solo career) and singer/guitarist Emrys Baird. They’ve been plying their trade ever since releasing their critically acclaimed ‘Bank From The Brink ‘ in 2020 on leading U.K. label Lateralize and 45 singles on their own label .Their last vinyl single featured The JB’s maestro Fred Wesley and was played heavily by Gilles Peterson and Craig Charles. Their current single ‘Blame It On The Endgame’ out now is also garnering critical acclaim and being played by Jazz Fm and BBC6Music. Funkier than a mosquito’s tweeter and fizzing with an electrifying energy that’s been fine-tuned over the course of countless live performances everywhere from Ronnie Scott’s to Glastonbury, the mighty Soul Immigrants have built a peerless reputation as one of the tightest outfits around. We are extremely excited to welcome them for what will undoubtedly be an unforgettable night of infectious dancefloor fillers by everyone from James Brown and Bill Withers to Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye.
