About Inlet Jazz Band
Inlet Jazz Band is an 18 piece collective of musicians led by trombonist Andrew Clark. Good times to be shared with IJB's mix of modern Big Band Jazz plus new twists on old standards and rock classics with a Big Band flavour.
Founded in 1995 and based in Port Moody BC, Inlet Jazz Band is known for their collaborations and projects that support young musicians locally and in Matanzas, Cuba.
