World-class Live Music
award-winning artists
right in the heart of Eltham!
Jamie Taylor and Sam Dunn have been weaving their blend of interactive, swinging, melodic and dynamic jazz guitar together for over 25 years, having met as students at Leeds College of Music. Both firmly established as band leaders and accompanists in their own right, this year sees the release of their album ‘Going Coastal’.
Jamie is an engaging performer in the tradition, blending the lyricism of Lester Young with the fiery bebop of Tal Farlow and Barney Kessel. His many credits with leading American and European musicians include Baptiste Herbin, Wayne Escoffery, Sheryl Bailey, Steve Fishwick, Roni Ben-Hur, and Alan Barnes.
Sam is a widely respected and versatile player who has collaborated with Sammy Mayne, Hot Club of Jupiter, Karen Street, The Clock Winders, Shirley Smart, Georgia Mancio, Simon Spillett, and Grammy-nominated US pianist and vocalist Judy Carmichael.
We present world-class jazz concerts, on the 3rd Thursday a month, open to all: no membership required.
We are named after the formidable Hugh & Marion Ockendon, who promoted live jazz in Eltham for over 32 years! Hugh, a classically trained pianist with a deep love of jazz, sadly died in 2020, followed by Marion, a cabaret artist and band vocalist, in October 2022.
Hugh & Marion’s legacy now continues under the stewardship of multi-award-winning vocalist, lyricist and producer Georgia Mancio (Alan Broadbent, ReVoice! Festival, Bobby McFerrin) and acclaimed drummer Dave Ohm (Ian Shaw, Benny Golson, Gregory Porter).
