The following video was made for the University of Warwick Students’ Union in 2007. I thought about sharing this one with you because it brought back a lot of memories to me.
When we went to Warwick there were hardly any online video portals. You should really check out YouTube. You’ll be surprised how much stuff you can find there now.
Just found a website of the Pretty Small Band at MusicMan. There you can view set lists, listen to audio samples and book the band.
The Pretty Small Band is a jazz combo founded by Steve Pretty as a student band at the University of Warwick. I had the honor to be the band’s first bass player. We had weekly performances (every Tuesday I believe) at The Graduate (a bar at Warwick’s students’ union).
After finishing university Steve became a performing arts professional, appearing on stage acting, singing, conducting and playing instruments. He and the Pretty Small Band are based in London now.
The original members of the Pretty Small Band in 2001:
Adam Byron (p), Peter Glaeser (b), Steve Pretty (tp, dir), Tom Ward (sax), Andy Twigg (dr)
