Exeter, where our Jazz Band performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Exeter, has been said:- " Exeter began as a Roman town. The Romans arrived in the Southwest about 50 AD they built a wooden fort on a hill near the river Exe at the lowest point where it could be easily crossed. (Exe is derived from a Celtic word meaning 'the water'). However the local Celtic tribe put up little resistance to Roman rule and about 75 AD the soldiers moved on. A town was then created on the site of the fort. The Romans called it Isca. Like all Roman towns Isca had a rectangular space called the forum. This was the market place. It was also lined with shops and the basilica, a kind of town hall. There were also public baths in Isca. In Roman times people went to the baths not just to get clean but also to socialise. It was the Roman equivalent of going down the pub. " Jazz.., was illiterate, instinctual, impulsive, aleatoric, unscorable, unpredictable—therein lay its charm.
