Ewan Bleach returns to Jazz at St Giles' after his major success with us last Autumn talking about and playing the work of Lester Young and Sidney Bechet in conversation with Alyn Shipton. As promised at the end of that concert, he's back, this time with "The Fleeting Paradise Orchestra"

The 10-12 piece jazz ensemble plays arrangements of popular songs and original blues and jazz numbers from the 10-piece ‘territory’ bands of late 20s and early 30s America, such as Benny Moten, Charlie Johnson, Fess Williams and Duke Ellington. They also play material from the polite society dance bands such as Guy Lombardo, Bert Ambrose and Ben Bernie and Ewan is also providing original compositions and arrangements in his own unique style.
