DOWNLOAD SAMPLE REPERTOIRE LIST

Beat-Route is a classic traditional jazz combo. The band has, over its 3 years, developed an extensive repertoire of originals, standards, grooves, Latin, Afro, popular and show tunes executed with real panache and style in the jazz idiom, and has made quite a reputation in Durban featuring regularly at corporate functions, parties, weddings, fairs, restaurants and on the local jazz circuit.
 
The Quartet features front-man and band-leader Daniel Sheldon on trumpet, the inimitable giant of the jazz guitar Mr Gerald Sloan on guitar, Logan Byrne on upright bass and Mr Tony Muirhead on drums. They sometimes augment the band with other instrumentalists/vocalists if the need arises.

Beat-Route has played countless gigs now and has built good following and relationships on the corporate, wedding and entertainment circuits through a professional attitude and polished routine.
