When The Cloggz play it’s not so much a gig as a musical voyage.

The seven-piece outfit combine various musical styles into a unique brand of modern jazz/swing/Klezmer, with vintage footage from the fairgrounds of the 1950s playing in the background.

The result is mesmerizing. The pedigree of this band is undoubtedly what makes the two-hour set such an enjoyable experience.

Most members of the band are multi-instrumentalists, with Brighton based jazz pianist extraordinaire Mark Edwards the kingpin.

He formed the Cloggz two years ago and has worked as a professional musician, arranger and director for the past 30 years with the likes of Paul Weller, Chris Rea, Roddy Frame, Dave Stewart and Katie Melua.

Julian Nicholas is one of the UK’s leading jazz saxophonists as well as being a highly regarded composer, while Ben Sarfas is a virtuoso violinist whose playing (along with his dazzling smile) wins the audience over within seconds.

The band's sweeping cinematic scores, broken up by the compere reading stories about people you might never have heard of but would like to know more about, made this evening at Brighton’s Unitarian Church an extraordinary experience.

The Cloggz are close to finishing their debut album to be released in early 2015, which means they should be touring a fair bit.

On the evidence of last weekend's performances, I'd grab the chance while you can.
