20 piece Jazz Big Band
Formed in 2001 by Enigmatic trumpeter, ARIA winning artist, and fondly remembered ‘Dr of Jazz’, Vlad Khusid, Dr V's Swing Thing is a 20-piece Jazz Big Band comprising jazz alumni from Sydney Grammar School. The group has performed concerts at festivals all over Australia from Darwin to Wangaratta to Manly to Orange and has a deep interest in performing the entire breadth of the jazz canon including sophisticated new music to classics from the swing era and beyond.
The ensemble delivers a tightness and enthusiasm for the genre rarely seen in Australian big bands, informed by a passion and sustained commitment to challenging its members with exciting, dynamic yet accessible music. Since 2023, the group has been under the musical direction of Sydney Conservatorium Jazz Lecturer and Australian Big Band luminary David Theak who aspires to continue Dr V’s love of Jazz and Big Band by leading the band with the spirit in which it was formed.
Guest acclaimed Sydney singer Jo Fabro joins the band again with her beautiful voice and charismatic charm for a night not to be missed.
Dr V’s is also pleased to be joined by Freddie Stafford for this performance, one of Sydney’s brightest young jazz talents, who performs regularly with Sydney’s top musicians.
