MOODSWING - THE SAXOPHONE

Mon 6 Sep 2010 @ 8:00pm

Admission Members $10 Student Members $8 Non-members $15

Three of our most talented jazz saxophonists - JIM COOK, ROGER GARROOD and BEN COLLINS will pay homage to the straight ahead, swinging, bluesy, sultry sax players in jazz. These musicians will explore the styles and trends of the jazz saxophone throughout its illustrious history from Ben Webster and Stanley Turrentine, to Stan Getz and Joshua Redman.
Jimmy Cook is a legend in WA with a sound that would melt marshmallow and a sense of swing that defies time, while Roger Garrood - who arrived from the UK in the early eighties, set the city on fire with his awesome display of genuine brilliance. Last but by no means least, is one of our shining lights, Ben Collins, not only one of the leading instrumentalists in MFO, but also a composer of distinction. Special guests: MIKE NELSON - piano, MICHAEL PERKINS – drums, KARL FLORRISON – bass.
