Toronto All Star Big Band July 9th Swingin' Big Band Sounds Presented by Indulgence |
|
| One of the most exciting bands around, the Toronto All-Star Big Band revives the spirit, style and sound of 1930’s and 40’s - that golden age of the big bands. Armed with brilliant programming, slick choreography and witty cultural nostalgia, this vibrant cast of awesome young talent has earned its position at the top of the list of presenters throughout Ontario and in the U.S. Theatrical engagements are far-reaching, and recent gigs have included the Port Hope Jazz Festival, Port Elgin Big Band Celebration, Beaches International Jazz Festival, Art Park in Lewiston N.Y. and Toronto’s famed Palais Royale and Casa Loma. At the heart of the musical matter, the Toronto All-Star Big Band provides one of the most intense and stimulating youth music programs in Canada. Behind their extraordinary entertainment, they engage cream-of-the-crop young musicians from across the GTA in a rigorous regime of rehearsals, workshops and a fantastic breadth of rich and skill-building performance experiences with international stars...Buddy deFranco, Eddie Daniels, Larry Elgart, Clark Terry and most recently Cleo Laine and John Dankworth and great Canadians like Peter Appleyard, Tommy Ambrose, Phil Nimmons, Oliver Jones, Ranee Lee, and the great Jackie Richardson. All of these wonderful performers are a part of our Legend Series and have graciously shared their talents with the Toronto All-Star Big Band. |
