Ensembles
Malvern Big Band
I formed Malvern Big Band in 2000 with another local musician, trumpet player
Chris Lewis. Chris has since moved on to work in another part of the country,
and Robin Miller has now become one of the main organisers as well as being a
star of the trumpet section. MBB plays a healthy mixture of music; at our gigs
you will hear charts by composers such as Duke Ellington and Gershwin which
covers the traditional areas. We strive to give something of a focus on the
contemporary, so you will also hear music by Don Ellis, Frank Mantooth and
Jim Martin, to name a few. You can go to the
Malvern Jazz website to find out
more about the band and hear some more of the music we play.

Chameleon Sax Quartet
The Chameleon Saxophone Quartet was the brainchild of Frank O'Neil,
and was formed in 2007. Our repertoire covers a huge variety of music
from Renaissance pieces through to light classics and jazz and pop
standards. If you are interested in booking the group for a concert
or function of some sort, you will need the same amount of space as a
string quartet would take up, and a room or hall with a suitable acoustic
qualities. The line up is as follows:
Mike Halliday - soprano sax
Steph Halliday - alto sax
Frank O'Neil - tenor sax
Sue Salisbury - baritone sax
