BRISBANE CONTEMPORARY JAZZ ORCHESTRA
Let the magnificent sounds envelop you when we see the return of the Big Band to Riverside Ballroom on Thursday February 18. We are very happy to present the stylings of the sensational 18 member Brisbane Contemporary Jazz Orchestra.

http://www.facebook.com - BCJO
Led by David Humphreys and featuring some of the best Brisbane musicians, BCJO performs a wide range of modern big band music including latin, funk, swing and gospel. The band is a showcase for established and emerging local musicians and there is a wealth of experience and talent in the playing ranks. The repertoire focuses on jazz music from the last 20 years, with charts from composers such as Jaco Pastorius, Michel Camilo and Gordon Goodwin. 

The band performs regularly at Brisbane Jazz Club and has also appeared at the Valley Jazz Festival, Brisbane Festival Spiegeltent and Ambiwerra Festival. For a big band experience that engages the ears and the mind, it's hard to go past the BCJO for the exciting, contemporary big band sound. Check out the web-site.

The Concert on January 21 was a great start for 2010 at the Hangar
Rohan Somasekaran and Dave Kemp Duo got the night off to a great start with some impressive skills on piano and vibes. This was followed by the wonderful Ingrid James and the East Coast Ensemble who took it a notch or two higher in tempo drawing out some hot dancers from the Brisbane Swing Dance Club onto the floor. A wonderful night!

We also now have a Facebook page where you can leave comments and see photos of recent events. Just Google "Facebook Jazz At The Hangar".
Watch out for the Hannah Macklin and James Wengrow Quartets in March
