Event Details

One of the eighty grand affairs at the TD Halifax Jazz Festival, July 8-16, 2011.

Late Night at the Georgian Lounge* with

Jubilee Swing Orchestra (NS)

swing / jazz / big band

The new Jubilee Swing Orchestra is a reunion of sorts. JSO essentially picks up where the swing orches- tras of the Big Band era and Canada’s Juno award winning Johnny Favourite Swing Orchestra left off. The 15-piece Jubilee Swing Orchestra plays acoustic social dance music in the traditional Big Band style. Joyful, simple and danceable; the JSO is all about big beats, not back beats. Swinging melodies new and old with spirited soloists. Halifax arranger David Christensen and writer John Wesley Chisholm are building a formidable book of original charts contextualized with incredible vintage transcriptions of the Big Band era’s best by well-known American arrangers Mike Henebry and Robert Hersh. Launched in the fall of 2010, the orchestra has been playing regular dance happenings and drawing a loyal following of the most diverse crowds you are likely to ever see at a dance music event.

Personnel: John Wesley Chisholm (guitar, Writer, MC), David Christensen (clarinet, arranger), Julian Marentette (drums), Andrew Killawee (piano, vocals),Adam Fine (bass), Tevor Wentzell (sax), Wes Mackey (sax), Dawn Hatfield (sax), Dustin LindenSmith (sax), Eric Landry (trombone), Martha Kelly (trombone), Matt Myer (trumpet), Tim Elson (trumpet) and Bob Daly (vocals)
