The John Burgess Classic Jazz Quintet was formed by five very serious and respected jazz musicians from Scotland who decided something had to be done

about the lack of high-quality early jazz in their area.  Their love of the seemingly forgotten greats of jazz like Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Fats Waller

and Jelly Roll Morton led them to open a hugely popular monthly concert series in Edinburgh which has since spawned Festival and concert appearances all over Europe where audiences have responded to their respectful but renewed takes of the works of the true masters of jazz. For their concert in Falkirk they

will be performing tunes written and made famous by the legendary Thomas ‘Fats’ Waller.
