The  quite recent origin of "Jazz59" stems from 2021 when Paul Dowler managed to bring together a small group of semi-professional Jazz Musicians and then inform them that the year 1959 was of course not only perhaps the year of the pinnacle of Mainstream Jazz before Rock n' Roll knocked it off its pedestal, but as it was also the year of his birth -  they should form an "Old fashioned Jazz Combo outfit"
- calling this outfit "Jazz59"

The lineup  consists of Geoff Holtom on  Bass, George Height on drums, Les Morton on Guitar, Gordon Smye on Sax, Jacob Dart on Keyboard and Paul (Harry) Dowler on Trumpet  

In October  of 2021 Heather and Paul Dowler put on a charity Jazz Concert to raise funds for The Dementia Carer Advice and Support Service that they run together in South Warwickshire called  talkdementia  

The concert was so well  supported and received , plus they had such a good time that they realised not only were they enjoying ourselves, but that they had also inadvertently created a unique fundraising  vehicle - So Paul managed to convince the band members of Jazz59 that they could play for fun whilst raising funds for a very good cause - and they don't seem to mind at all...

A  lot of our music from Jazz59 will stem from the golden years between 1940 and 1959, but you will  also find some standards from the 1920s', 1930s' and  some from the 1960s...

Jazz59 are available for hire for private parties and functions with proceeds as donations towards supporting  talkdementia
