After a sell out
season at the Rhumbelow Theatre in Umbilo, Swingtime
returns for one performance at the Westville Country Club.
Presented by
Platform Jazz, it’s a classy show featuring the best of swing music from
the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s.
For their new show
there are two new band members in the guise of Jeff Judge on sax, and Kirsten
Sayers on clarinet. Effervescent Shelley MacLean will be the featured vocalist
again. The rest of the band is unchanged led by Cathy “Hotlips” Peacock on
trumpet, “Dunc the hunk” Wooldridge on trombone, Andreas “Bullfiddle” Kappen on
double bass, the one and only Melvin Peters on piano, and “bashful” Bruce Baker
on drums.
The show will
feature hits by Duke Ellington, Rosemary Clooney and Ella Fitzgerald such as Fever, Hey Mambo, Blue Moon, Embraceable You
and A Nightingale sang in Berkley Square.
The band will pay tribute to great big bands of that time and will include Sing sing sing, Caravan, How high the Moon
and a tribute to Glenn Miller. Other fab swing tunes include I’ve Got You Under My Skin, Fly Me To The
Moon and Shelly’s smoky version of Georgia
On My Mind.
