This is the Jeanie Barton Quartet doing what they do best, an EP compilation of some of the classics they regularly perform in and around London at private and public events. ‘Jazz and Cocktails’ is stylish and fun, this recording magically captures their live sound - the charged atmosphere, timeless glamour and technical excellence they exude in the flesh. A jazz romp of Latin and swing crowd pleasers, Jeanie Barton fronts two ensembles; John China on piano, Olly Blanchflower on double bass and Mick Parker on drums in tracks 1, 3 and 5 and C J Berry on guitar, Lakis Economou on electric bass and Danny Bryan on percussion in tracks 2, 4 and 6.
