Tomaree Spring Encore Concert: Sax Blue

About

ENCORE CONCERT BY POPULAR DEMAND - SURE TO SELL OUT AGAIN!

Join us at Tomaree Lodge Hall on the shores of Shoal Bay as Sax Blue makes the Headland swing again following their sold-out show the previous night at the Tomaree Sunset Spring series. Showtime is 2pm-3pm, Sunday, 29th November.

SAX BLUE enjoy playing a vast range of music styles from classical transcriptions to jazz tunes and novelty numbers. Over a period 34 years, Sax Blue have learnt to exploit all the sounds of the saxophone. Creamy, punchy and quirky sounds all serve in a repertoire that includes baroque and romantic arrangements, jazz standards such as American Patrol, Liza and I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good), special tunes like Tiger Rag, Black Bottom Stomp and Bohemian Rhapsody together with tunes played by the Brown Brothers Saxophone Quartet from the early 20th Century.

The members of the group are Craig Parish (soprano/alto saxs), Mitchell Parish (alto), Gareth Lewis (tenor) and Rod Barnes (baritone). All are also members of the Dungeon Big Band.

Sax Blue supported the internationally-known Dutch Swing College Band, has played at Newcastle Jazz Festival over many years, Newcastle Music Festival, at garden parties and other private functions, and is led by Rod Barnes, also leader for Dungeon Big Band and Pacific Palm Court Orchestra. Rod arranges much of the music for these groups.
