Jazz Rotorua is proud to announce an evening with Great Lake Big Band.
While swing numbers might be stock in trade for Taupo’s Great Lake Big Band, director Rowan Bolley also likes to test audiences, and his musicians, with some quirkier numbers.
Expect a sampling of traditional jazz standards interspersed with some fresh arrangements – the source of which is best not discussed.
The 15 or so member group has over 20 years’ experience playing at weddings, jazz clubs, conferences, concerts, balls and various other functions where the full sound of a big band is desired.
Typical line up: 4 trumpets, 2 trombones, 4 saxes, rhythm section (bass, guitar, drums, keyboard/piano), vocals (female).
Arrangers/Composers Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Gordon Goodwin, Tom Kubis, Dave Wolpe, Sammy Nestico, Paul Jennings, Barry Clewett, Jerry Nowak…
Join us to enjoy a great toe tapping evening of fabulous music, raffles, meals and bar offering drinks at discount prices!
