Mango Jam
Based in Brisbane
About this act
Seventeen musicians on a Brisbane stage is a proper big band, not a horn section bolted onto a covers act. Mango Jam plays swing, jazz, funk, soul, Latin and pop, which covers a corporate dinner, a wedding and a dance night without needing three different bookings. The sound is what you'd expect from a full brass and reed line-up, and the players treat it seriously. Practically speaking, you'll need to put out 16 chairs. Everything else the band needs comes with them and is built into the quote, so there's no separate list of gear to sort out on the day.
