Many years ago Jackson Sloan was the driving force on the Jump Jive circuit with his top band "RENT PARTY". Featuring Alan Savage, Steve Weston, Andy Stevens, Laurence Parry and John Wilmot, they built a solid reputation in the UK as well as in Europe, topping the bill on countless Festivals and in many clubs, they appeared on many TV shows and released four singles and two albums. In 1988 RENT PARTY broke up and Jackson found himself working in many different musical areas. He recorded the 12" dance floor classic "Night in Tunisia" with DJ and Latin percussionist 'Snowboy'.

In 1988 RENT PARTY broke up and Jackson found himself working in many different musical areas. He recorded the 12" dance floor classic "Night in Tunisia" with DJ and Latin percussionist 'Snowboy'. In 1989 Jackson recorded a solo album called "Old Angel Midnight" with top British jazz musicians. This received great response from fans and critics alike, the album has been re-released recently in Japan and Hungry and has been very successful.

After spending many years in the jazz field Jackson has decided to get back to his roots of Jump-Jive, Blues and Boogie-Woogie R&B so he phoned drummer, Alan Savage, and asked if he would be interested in getting a band together. Alan jumped at the chance, having had great times together in Rent Party, and knowing that with the right musicians behind him, Jackson would once more become a driving force in the current Jump-Jive, Swing, Boogie-Woogie World.

The core line-up of the band is:
Jackson Sloan - vocals
Alan Savage - drums
James Lunn - piano
Paul Garner - guitar
Albie Green - tenor sax
John Wilmott - tenor sax
Pete Pritchard - double-bass
