Once again the
eight-piece Platform Jazz band returns to the Rhumbelow towards the end of the
month with performances from January 24 to 26 and January 31 to February 2.
The usual line-up
features Cathy ‘Hotlips’ Peacock on trumpet, Dunc ‘The Hunc’ Wooldridge on
trombone, Ian ‘Lightning Fingers’ Holloway on clarinet, Andreas ‘Bullfiddle’
Kappen on double bass, ‘Bashful’ Bruce Baker on drums, Jono Judge on sax, the
one and only Melvin Peters on piano and velvet voiced Shelley McLean on vocals.
This time the band
will play wonderful jazz tunes from films and musical shows spanning from
pre-1920's to current times. The performance will include such evergreens as Night and Day, My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music, the fun The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book, You’ve got a Friend in Me from Toy
Story, the beautiful ballad Somewhere
over the Rainbow from The Wizard of
Oz and the hard-hitting fabulous jazz big band numbers Straighten Up and Fly Right and Hello
Dolly!
Linking the numbers
will be little snippets of info about the musical pieces and the film or show
in which they appeared. Don’t miss these excellent musicians in action! Their
music is finger-clicking good!
Performances take place
on Fridays and Saturdays at 20h00 and on Sundays at 14h00 and 18h30. (Venue
opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner)
