Jazz BANG Saturday party

Sydney's premier night of dance band jazz is on again on Saturday 5th May with Andrew Dickeson's Jazz Family Band. $40 tickets available at the door Saturday 5th May 2018 Doors at 8.30pm, live music from 9pm. http://jazzbang.com.au/parties.html#saturdayevening Enjoy a night of the best improvised swinging jazz music in the Polish Club Ashfield/ Klub Polski Ashfield Ballroom. The raised seating area around the dance floor offers comfortable seating with a good view, and the ballroom boasts a large, smooth floor built for dancing. There will be room for everyone's fun. The club boasts a full bar in the ballroom, the Sto Lat restaurant, and a second bar for quieter drinks during the night. Trains and buses are a short walk away, and there is off-street and on-street parking. Dress up, dress nice, but come dressed to dance, because the Jazz Family Band is unrelenting. This is a dance band, built for lindy hop and balboa. But definitely worth taking a seat and watching. Andrew Dickeson's Jazz Family Band returns to Sydney, trailing a wake of rave reviews and ecstatic testimonials. This group wowed us at The Little Big Weekend last year, and this year they nail the whole thing down and push it out to sea. Who's in the band? Andrew Dickeson (drums and bandleader) Peter Locke (piano) Ashley Turner (bass) Bradford Child (saxophone/clarinet/vocals) Glenn Edwin Henrich (vibes/saxophone) Chuck Morgan (guitar) Jazzniks will notice the addition of Chuck Morgan on guitar for the rhythm section. He's been told to 'pretend like you're Freddy Green', so he'll be chunking away at that four solid beats to the bar all night. This is what makes for excellent lindy hop and balboa. Glenn Hendrich has been bringing the vibes to the Blue Rhythm Band around Sydney over the past year, and there's nothing quite like those good vibrations to fill out a proper swinging band. We approve. You'll know the rest of these scoundrels, but make sure you take time to admire band leader Andrew Dickeson on the drums: he's not pushing the band, he's filling in.
