Basin Street Jazz Quartet
Based in Sydney
About this act
Basin Street Jazz Quartet is a jazz band from Sydney, New South Wales.
Trumpet, clarinet, banjo and tuba make up this Sydney quartet, chosen specifically to reproduce the sound of 1920s jazz rather than a modern big-band arrangement. The repertoire sits firmly in that era, drawing on period pop standards such as Fidgety Feet, Riverboat Shuffle, At the Jazz Band Ball, The Jazz Me Blues and Wabash Blues. A performance at the Port Macquarie Jazz Festival featured a guest vocalist alongside the core four players.
