Edinburgh Jazz Festival Orchestra: Swinging for Basie
4 August 2010 at 8:00pmat The Queen's Hall
Directed by Joe Temperley with Brian Kellock and special guest Dennis Rowland
An all-star cast recreate the joyous music of Count Basie. Featuring arrangements by Quincy Jones, Neal Hefti and Buck Clayton, Joe Temperley plans a masterclass of Swing, concentrating on the great music that swirled around the Basie Band in the late 50’s and 60’s. He’ll bring special charts from the USA and will introduce Dennis Rowland, Basie’s 70’s vocalist and one of the most authoritative interpreters of the blues-soaked soulful swing versions of classic American tunes.
