About The Shakedown:

Introducing the shakedown, a manchester based jazz sextet. Playing a mixture of ‘bop-pop’ tracks alongside original material, they have a rich and vibrant sound. Their unusual renditions of popular tracks such as no doubt’s don’t speak and paint it black by the rolling stones has left audiences amazed, a little uneasy, but undoubtedly encapsulated by the unique sound the band has created.

with some of the best hard bop jazz players in manchester you can always expect an entertaining live show. The best part is, you don't have to know loads of jazz standards to enjoy the music!
