Durban The Best Of Swing - Platform Jazz


 What is Swing? Not only is it a music genre made popular in the 1920's through to the 1940's but it depicts a certain musical groove and feel and also a sophisticated and classy fashion style. Platform Jazz is set to bring you that groove and their show at the Rhumbelow next year will feature the best of their Swing numbers from their past 4 shows. “The Best of Swing” will include Swing favourites from early 20’s, 30’s and 40’s through to pop numbers given a swing flair.   

 The band will perform crowd pleasers such as Mack the knife, Hello Dolly, In the Mood, When the saints go marching in, All about that Bass, My Favourite Things, Big Spender to name a few and they are all guaranteed to be crowd pleasers. The line-up includes Andreas Kappen on double bass, Bruce Baker on drums, the inimitable Melvin Peters on the keys, Cathy Peacock on trumpet, Kirsten Sayers on clarinet, Jeff Judge on the sax and vocals, Duncan Wooldridge on slide trombone and Shelley McLean adds her gorgeous style as lead vocalist.   Ladies don your pearls and fascinators, gents your scarves and spats and relive the era of glamour and big band magic with Platform Jazz and “The Best of Swing”.
