Luton, where our Jazz Quartet performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Luton, has been said:- " Luton lies at the northern end of a river gap in the Chiltern Hills, thirty miles north of London. One of it's earliest names, Lygetun, means 'the enclosure by the river Lea'. The town spans about 12 square miles, but one hundred years ago the buildings and streets covered less than a square mile. For centuries, until this growth spurt, Luton had been first a small farming community and then a tiny market town; in the 17th and 18th centuries it was a town in decay and then, early in the 19th century, the development of the straw hat industry changed Luton into a factory town, the chief centre of hat manufacture in the south-east Midlands. In the 20th century the decline of the hat industry has been balanced by the introduction of new industries, primarily in the engineering fields. " ‘Jazz’, used mainly as an adjective descriptive of a band. The groups that play for dancing, when colored, seem infected with a virus that they try to instill as a stimulus to others. They shake and jump and writhe in ways to suggest a return to the medieval lumping mania.
