I look forward to featuring a wide palette of works, ranging from the classics, like Beethoven, to the vivid

PROGRAMME OF MUSIC

As well as the link to our on-line TicketSource page, tickets are also available from
The Topsham Bookshop (open Mon-Sat 10.30am-1pm and 2pm-5pm).

Programme

We play regularly in Manchester, fusing jazz into some of the most recognisable pop, classical, swing and Disney songs to add our own twist. We want to bring something more to this concert, hence the addition of classical/jazz music. We both come from jazzy backgrounds, and that is the anchor beneath everything we do. However we both love musical theatre, classical and Disney music, and since jazz greats often incorporate these styles into their music, we feel inspired to do the same! 

Biography

Sam and Max are a dynamic duo from Manchester, formed in 2022 as a vehicle to explore jazz music in a duo style.
