The music we listen to is selected by the group members and as a result we cover various time periods from the back catalogue of Jazz releases. Mainly we go from the 40’s through to the 2000’s. There is plenty of informative and enjoyable discussion regarding the music we listen to and love. We are actively looking for new members from within the U3A and beyond. We have our own Facebook group.

Here you can get an idea of what we listen to and find topical Jazz news and local events.

The Jazz Appreciation group meet to listen to and discuss a wide range of Jazz. Our sessions are quite varied and involve contributions from all of the members.

We generally pick a topic and the members play something from their collection that typifies the topic subject. Recent topics have included reviews of some of the famous Jazz Record Labels, Blue Note, Prestige, Riverside for example. We have had sessions featuring specific instruments like the tenor and alto saxophones.
