The
Jake Leg Jug Band bring you the authentic sounds of 1920's and 30's
America - jazz, blues, ragtime and gospel. Songs of murder, betrayal,
gambling, liquor and redemption.
After self-releasing their debut album Cotton Mouth, the band signed to one of the UK's most prestigious Jazz labels, recording three albums as part of the 'Vintage Recording Project', recording live around ribbon microphones, as it would have been back in the 1930’s. ‘Next Stop!’ ‘Everythin's Jake’ and ‘Break a Leg’ all met with rave reviews;
"A masterpiece of nostalgic music. The band display real virtuosity and create a wonderful sound that will be hard for any other band to repeat" Folk North West
"Expert musicianship and great arrangements....highly recommended" Just Jazz
"Instrumental virtuosity. Very enjoyable, very listenable" Blues & Rhythm
"A wonderful album. Expert musicianship and superb arrangements" Fatea
"Good time music from a good-time group" The Jazz Rag
The band followed up with 'Fifth Avenue', their debut release for the Green Bullet record label in late 2018.
"Pick any track at random and prepare to be entertained " RnR
"Swinging like a barn door in a Texas breeze, the album shows the tightness of a band that have spent many years on the road" Fatea
"A fine feast of good-timing jug band music, blues, vintage jazz and hokum with a nicely humorous attitude " Blues News (Norway)
