About this act
Formed in 2000 by two Victorian College of the Arts music graduates, Orlando Combo has spent the years since becoming one of the busiest jazz outfits in Melbourne. The line-up scales: an acoustic trio for instrumental background playing, or a quintet with vocals when you want swing and soul on the dance floor. Residencies tell you plenty about a band. Theirs include the Australian Open, twelve years of the Melbourne Cup Carnival at Flemington, eight years at The Botanical in South Yarra, the RACV City Club and Angus & Bon in Prahran. The sound leans on Louis Armstrong swing, the Blue Note era of Miles Davis and Jimmy Smith, Sinatra and Nat King Cole standards, and bossa nova. Quotes cover amplifiers, lighting and a vocal PA you can borrow for speeches. Weddings are a specialty.
