SPECIAL MATINEE JAZZ EVENT

Doors 12 pm, Band at 12.30 pm

Duke of George presents

The New Orleans Heritage Jazz Band 
with special guest Alan Gresty (UK) on trumpet

A last chance to hear one of the UKs finest trumpet players.
Sideman with Monty Sunshine for many years. This will be his last visit to Perth. Not to be missed!

The New Orleans Heritage Jazzband is a creation of the mid-eighties when the early jazz music scene in Perth was buoyant. The band was put together from musicians from various jazzbands at the time. 

The concept was that the band would present and play mainly authentic material of the free flowing, pulsating, revivalist jazz style heard in numerous venues of that famous city, New Orleans. Heritage has had almost the same line-up since the start. It’s fun and the music is swinging, fresh and joyous!

For December, we have Alan Gresty from the UK joining us on trumpet.
Alan has played with British jazz greats like Chris Barber, Acker Bilk and Monty Sunshine. 

We’re looking forward to a real traditional jazz treat!
