SWERVY WORLD. A TRADITIONAL JAZZ BAND

Swervy World
..."Saw them perform at Mardi Gras in Great Yarmouth. The rain was persistent but the audience stayed. Showmen and talented performers. Little kids were walking away at the end of the performance saying 'lets tell daddy about the man playing the sax".
Marilyn Banks. March 2017

This Compact Disc is 
a pretty good representation of how Swervy World sounds.
