New Website for the Morris Agency
The New website www.themorrisagency.co.uk is nearly built by www.realisingdesigns.com and is going to be online in the next week. Loads of new artists from around the UK including:
Heads South is a new line-up of jazz orientated musicians.
They are John Harriman on piano & keyboards, Steve Waterman on trumpet, Buster Birch drums, Chino Martell Morgan percussion, and Tim Robertson bass.
The music they play is fresh. It uses a lot of Latin rhythms, and Jazz and ‘Western’ melodies and harmonies.
The core repertoire comprises originals composed for the band and arrangements of selected tunes. It is music that can potentially overcome genre mindsets and reach out to to a diverse body of listeners, spreading the good word of the power of instrumental music, melody and rhythm.
