Eric Holroyd's Five Pennies

Eric's long-held admiration for the music of Red Nichols and Miff Mole has finally led to the formation of this band, specially to re-create their style of music. (In a play on words, their various bands were called Red Nichols and his Five Pennies.) Eric's band also pays tribute to other important jazz musicians of that era, such as Jimmy Dorsey, Eddie Lang and Glenn Miller. The music also takes in some earlier jazz material. This CD was recorded at North Sydney Leagues Club in September 2002.
