Big Band Night brings music legends to The Lido
The John Davies Phat Brass featuring vocalist Harry Talas will be wowing music lovers this month in the South.
EIKENHOF – Things are all set to go old school at The Lido Hotel, as Big Band Night brings The John Davies Phat Brass featuring Harry Talas to perform on May 31.
The Big Band era has made a comeback in the States and Europe, and now it’s time to hit African shores. Big Band Night is happening right here in the South of Johannesburg. With names like Michael Bublé, Josh Grobin, Harry Connick Jnr, Sir Rod Stewart, to name a few fronting Big Bands, the international appeal of the Big Band Night is quite clear.
The sounds of Count Basi, Duke Ellington, Star Kenton, Buddy Rich, Johnny Dankworth and Ted Heath are vibrating around South Africa with programmes like Eleanor Moor’s Band Stand on Big Band Radio 702. Those in classical music will recognise a couple of familiar tunes. Classic/Jazz Fusion is arranged by John Davies.
Tickets are available for R195 per person.
