Well it's mainly great swing music - Sinatra, Darin, Sammy Davis, Ella, Tony Bennett, Louis Prima, great band music from people like Ellington, Basie, Harry James etc.etc.etc.. and then some cool jazz......... Whatever we can find that sounds GOOD>..... and make us happy when we play it... and the audience....
Formed nine months ago, we are a flexible nine to eleven piece jazz and swing band.
Played our first big show at the Ashcroft arts centre down here on the south coast in fareham and now got private and public gigs around the South.

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
Hi Moondance, Your music is great, Went to a Van Morrison gig once, paid a huge price, he only played for 45 mins, walked of stage,then band packed up....Nice. Regards, Steve.
