About Me

Jazz Crumpet is a contemporary jazz quintet based in Lincolnshire. We play a large variety of Jazz standards, and original material. We want to make Jazz more accessible for both young and old, and have a good laugh along the way. Our plan for this year is a trip to France and Belgium/Holland. Keep checking our gig list for events near you .
