About this act
This Melbourne big band's book runs across three distinct sections: classic big band charts, funkier material, and a set of original compositions. Embraceable You and April in Paris sit inside the first, while God Bless the Child and Soul Vaccination carry the funkier block. My Dear Beloved and All Funked Up are among the orchestra's own written pieces rather than covers. Corner Pocket and A Tisket a Tasket round out a set built for listeners who want a big band playing more than well-worn standards.
