Formed in 1998, Billy Spangles Group is all about making original and memorable jazz: melodies you’ll find yourself humming, improvisations that leave you wanting more and exciting group interaction. Billy Spangles Group’s first CD “The Ballad of Cloudy Bongwater (and other songs)” is currently on sale. The Group conducted it’s first tour in March 2008 as part of the UK-Japan 2008 festival and plays regularly around central Tokyo in jazz clubs and bars. Please come on down and enjoy our music with us.
