Stomp off time is 8pm on Tuesday at the Palace Hotel in Douglas for a Manx Jazz Club-organised evening.
The stars are double bass player Rae Owens’ Happy Jazz quintet, featuring fellow Chicago Teddy Bears Jazz Band fugitive Tony Ormesher on guitar and banjo, alongside Manchester trumpeter John Lucas, and special guests Roy Williams on trombone, and clarinettist, saxophonist and flautist George Galway, brother of classical musician James.
Williams first took up trombone at 18, and played with Terry Lightfoot, the Alex Welch band and Humphrey Lyttelton before going solo, and was a regular booking at the now-defunct Isle of Man Jazz Festival. Also visiting is BBC Radio Ulster host Walter Love, who will record interviews for his Sunday jazz hour.
Tickets on the door are £16.
