 Next Here: TBC Jucamaya
Jucamaya is a contemporary jazz quintet based in the midlands. Its music is original but not too wayout.

Pianist Graham Dent composes most of the music, but the band also take pleasure in dipping into the established jazz standards repertoire. The front line comprises saxophonist Ian Hill and trombonist Richard Baker, and the rhythm section is completed by Tom Bull on double bass, and Steve Laffy (or Nick Millward) on drums.
