Bootman Jazz
Based in Sydney
About this act
Bootman Jazz is a jazz band from Sydney, New South Wales.
Calypso built around steel drums, guitar, bass and drums is just one direction Bootman Jazz in Sydney can take a set. Jazz and blues form the core, stretching from vocal-led numbers to a full big band arrangement, with New Orleans street marching, Christmas carols, funk disco and German oompah music all sitting in the wider repertoire. A smaller continental configuration built around accordion, clarinet, tuba and drums offers continental light-pop music, so the group can move between a large ensemble sound and something more intimate depending on what the room calls for.
