OZ BIG BAND
Mon 17 May 2010 @ 8:00pm
Admission Members $10 Student members $5 Non-members $15
THIS will be the premiere performance of the Oz Big Band at the Perth Jazz Society; it has been a long time coming but will be well worth it. What could be better than the irresistible sounds of a standard 17 piece big band ensemble playing music from that classic era of the 1930s and 1940s from the likes of, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie and many more.
The Oz Big Band is comprised of five saxophones, four trumpets, four trombones and a four piece rhythm section and if that’s not enough, there is the extra bonus of three male and three female vocalists (so that makes 20 all up) to create an everlasting swinging experience.
If you are into the big band era you will be in heaven. Get down to the Charles, preferably with a few friends to enjoy this special occasion.
