The Sound of Blue Note — the band — takes its name from a sound that shaped jazz history.

It’s a sound you’ll recognise straight away. Catchy, stylish and full of swing.

High-Energy Live Jazz That Grabs You

This isn’t background music. This is sit-up-and-listen jazz. Big tone, fast runs, proper energy.

One minute it’s full throttle. Next, it drops into something more thoughtful…Then it’s off again.

If you’ve seen him before, you already know. If you haven’t… you’re in for a ride.

Inspired by the Golden Age of British Jazz

Spillett’s sound is rooted in the 50s and 60s. Think sharp suits. Narrow ties. Dry humour.

And musically? It tips the hat to Tubby Hayes — a giant of British jazz.

This is that golden era where everything swung hard.
And it still hits just as hard today.

A Tight Band That Lifts the Room

Backing him is the Ronnie Jones Trio. The band incorporates some of the best players in the South West and accompany Spillett on their whistle stop tour of their home county.

They do exactly what great players should. They listen, they push, they leave space and then bring it right back

One Afternoon Only – Dorset Exclusive

This is the final date of their South West tour. The last stop – and the only Dorset show.
