Early Set | Jazz Quartet
5:30 – 6:45pm The Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar Stage Band is composed of 24 talented musicians from Northern NSW in Australia. This band will present a swinging set of Jazz standards as well as up-tempo soul classics. Their music is sure to captivate any audience and leave a lasting impression.
7:00 – 8:30pm The Nick Hempton Band – This band is gonna bring some solid swing and big band style music. “Nick Hempton is an alto and tenor saxophonist, playing swinging jazz music for the people. A veteran of the New York scene, he fills rooms big and small throughout the city, as well as concert halls and festivals around the world. Influenced by the greats of the instrument– Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Cannonball Adderley– and informed by a misspent youth playing Rhythm & Blues and Ska in his native Australia, Hempton’s jazz is “highly entertaining, hard-driving and solid swinging” (E-Jazz News)”
