—16-piece big band—
In Concert—Wednesday February 27th 2013
Paddington RSL 8pm start
The Jazz Action Society and the Professional Musicians’ Club are proud to present a night of big band jazz composition, arrangement and improvisation with the Evan Lohning Jazz Orchestra.
For this concert pianist and arranger Evan Lohning will be supported by some of the finest musicians in Australia including Warwick Alder, Angus Gomm, trumpets; Paul Cutlan, David Theak, Murray Jackson woodwinds; Dave Panichi, Mark Barnsley, Colin Burrows, trombones; Andrew Dickeson, drums—and young lions Dane LaBoyrie and Will Gilbert, trumpets; Evan Harris and Michael Avgenicos, saxes; Brendan Champion, trombone, and Tom Wade, bass.
On this night you will hear:
- Evan’s original big band creations ”Caliente Cabesa”, “Bondi Rocks”, “Trip To Tama”, “B Minor Blues”
- Guest vocalist Susan Gai Dowling introducing some brand new arrangements including Bobby Troup’s classic “The Meaning of the Blues”
- Original arrangements of jazz standards including Charlie Parker’s “Quasimodo” (based on “Embraceable You”)
- A new big band realisation of Bryce Rohde’s “Came A Ballerina” originally recorded by the Bryce Rohde Quintet in 1962
- plus a special treat: hardly ever heard live since it was first performed in 1949 by the Charlie Barnet Orchestra, the infamous, once-banned, never-commercially-released Johnny Richards arrangement of a certain Gershwin piece…we’ll call it “Blues On The Rhapsody”!
THIS IS A NIGHT NOT TO BE MISSED
Hope to see you there!
