(KZN All
Stars Big Band)
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will
presents the KZN All Stars Big Band on March 20, 2019.
The KZN All Stars Big Band is Durban's
premier professional Big Band. The band is led by Duncan Wooldridge and is
composed entirely of professional jazz and the best session musicians living
and working in KwaZulu-Natal.
Boasting some of the most highly qualified
and skilled artists in the country, the KZN All Stars performs the full
complement of styles and genres from the 20s through to modern jazz and beyond.
The KZN All Stars Big Band’s show is full of classic swing band and Rat Pack style
numbers; from some classic Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bobby Darin to the more
modern swing band classics of Michael Bublé, Robbie Williams and Harry Connick
Jnr.
They also pride themselves on their modern
homage to swing; performing some more popular, modern numbers from artists such
as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Pharell Williams, Earth Wind and Fire and
Bruno Mars. Some of the prominent members include Sebastian Goldswain, Andreas
Kappen, Melvin Peters, Jeff Robinson, Avikar
Maney and Salim Washington.
