Renowned New Orleans trumpeter and singer Leroy Jones has announced a 15 date UK tour.
Jones has a career spanning over four decades and have been a long-time member of Harry Connick Jnr's big band. He has worked with people like Dr John and has appeared on US TV shows like David Letterman and Oprah.
I
remember Leroy years ago in New Orleans. He was always regarded as the
greatest. No one could touch him. For young musicians like me, he was
exciting, intimidating. For the older ones, he was the keeper of the
flames. But Leroy did more than keep the flame. He started a forest
fire... Harry Connick Jr.
Leroy will perform with his quintet and will be joined on many dates by Ian Shaw and Joe Stilgoe.
