A unique show from an acclaimed jazz group who put an irresistible spin on movie music and soundtrack songs from silver screen sources both familiar and obscure. With anecdotes and themes from many films including The Pink Panther, Gilda, Butch Cassidy, The Aristocrats and The Fabulous Baker Boys, and songs by Burt Bacharach, John Barry, Leslie Bricusse, Stephen Sondheim, John Dankworth, and others, Jazz at the Movies is a delightful and surprising show.

Our Sunday afternoon session ends with a superb show courtesy of Chris Ingham and his quartet.

After sold out performances across the country, Chris Ingham's group Jazz At The Movies - featuring Joanna Eden, arrive at Southport and present a fun filled afternoon tour through some of the film world's most swinging and romantic music. 

JAZZ AT THE MOVIES is a unique jazz group who put an irresistible spin on classic movie themes and soundtrack songs from silver screen sources both familiar and obscure.

With music from many films including The Pink Panther, Gilda, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Aristocrats and The Fabulous Baker Boys, and songs by Burt Bacharach, John Barry, Leslie Bricusse, Stephen Sondheim, John Dankworth, and many others.

A regular sell-out at Ronnie Scott’s and the Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room for both their regular and Christmas shows, the group has recorded two acclaimed studio albums (Jazz at the Movies and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and two festive collections (A Swinging Christmas Live and Cool Yule).

Presented by musical director and pianist CHRIS INGHAM, Jazz at the Movies features evocative vocals by acclaimed singer JOANNA EDEN, bewitching saxophone and clarinet from MARK CROOKS (of John Wilson's Sinfonia of London) and a world-class rhythm section in JOE PETTITT (bass) and GEORGE DOUBLE (drums).

“Sophisticated, stylish vocals…performance and production quality remains high throughout...movie songs like these provide good material for the best jazz singers. Joanna Eden and her first-class band had a ball with them ... and so did the audience!"
