Tony Scriven Sunshine Band

Tony Scriven Sunshine Jazz Band

A Vibrant Tribute to the Golden Age of British Jazz 🎺

The Tony Scriven Sunshine Jazz Band a living, breathing celebration of the authentic New Orleans sound that captivated the UK during the great jazz revival. Led by veteran drummer Tony Scriven, the band delivers a masterclass in traditional jazz, characterized by a dynamic mix of stomps, blues, marches, and popular tunes from the 1920s and 30s.

Tony Scriven’s pedigree is second to none, having performed for years with the legendary Monty Sunshine—the clarinettist behind the 1959 global hit 'Petite Fleur'. Carrying that torch forward, Tony has assembled an accomplished six-piece ensemble that captures the same passion and excitement that once filled venues like London’s Lord Napier.

Whether performing at dedicated jazz clubs or prestigious festivals, the Sunshine Jazz Band ensures that every set is filled with nostalgia and musical excellence.

Their repertoire perfectly balances technical skill with an infectious energy that keeps the spirit of Monty Sunshine alive for modern audiences."
