Musician Profile

Band Info

Jack Pamplin – Bass and Vocals. Jack’s first encounter with the double bass was at the age of fourteen, on Saturdays, working for a stringed instrument restorer. Then came the Merchant Navy at sixteen when he received his first lessons from the ship’s bassist. After 5 years at sea, 2 years of Army National Service at Aldershot followed. There was a lot of scope for playing most types of jazz and dance music during those times and Jack was able to make a seamless move to the jazz scene back in Civi Street. Jack joined David Jones and his Dixieland Band in the 1960s, the Vo-De-O-Do in the 1980s and is now a member of the Louisiana Rhythm Kings
