WELCOME TO THE ALBION JAZZ BAND

Who We Are

The Albion Jazz Band was originally formed in 1990 at the request of Bob Erdos of Stomp Off Records to record a tribute album to Ken Colyer, "One For The Guv'nor". The album was well received and led to the band receiving many invites to festivals and to four tours in UK. The band members were drawn from several respected traditional jazz bands in the US and Canada, including the Grand Dominion Jazz Band from Vancouver, the New Black Eagle Jazz Band from Boston, and the Golden Eagle Jazz Band from Los Angeles. Two of the original members have moved back to the UK and Ireland and are currently active on the UK jazz scene.
