'Fifth Avenue' (GB1802-1)
Released December 2018
"the tightness of a band that have spent many years on the road. Cool jazz guitar, bass driven swing, excellent dobro, evocative harmonica and smokey vocal tones, velvet dipped in bourbon. Material is varied and well chosen, a souvenir from stage from one of the best live jazz-lite bands on the circuit"
Fatea
"The JLJB have built a strong reputation for both their humorous approach and their musical accomplishments...new female singer Bryony Rose certainly makes her mark. Pick any track at random and prepare to be entertained "
RnR
"A fine feast of good-timing jug band music, blues, vintage jazz and hokum with a nicely humorous attitude "
Blues News (Norway)
"This long-standing UK jug band capture the knockabout sound of the best Memphis jug bands of the 20s and 30s extremely well in addition to turning their hand to melodic blues, vintage jazz, old timey music and hokum. It all makes for a very fine and fun release"
Harmonica World
"The music is varied, lively and often comic...Bryony Rose sings with relish"
