Now You Has Jazz! - A
glittering showcase of the best in jazz
Amanda
Tiffin returns to her jazzy roots, winding her velvet
voice around classic jazz standards, and working scat
magic into some timeless tunes. No stranger to jazz
audiences, Amanda reworks songs from popular jazz
repertoire, to give them an exciting, inventive sound.
The show is presented by a “little” big band,
incorporating a 2-piece brass section, and dynamic rhythm
section.
Jazz is enjoying resurgence in popularity at the moment,
with artists like Michael Buble, Diana Krall, Jamie Cullum
and others injecting their own fresh energy into the old
classics. This show pays tribute to the old masters, and
has some fun with the new ambassadors of an ageless
sound.
The show
moves from the elegance of the Jazz Age of the 1920’s,
through the infectious energy of the Swing Era, the raw
spirit of the Latin and Cuban brass sounds, to the
infectious swing of South Africa’s own Sophiatown sounds.
It also explores music by some of the greatest composers
in jazz – Duke Ellington, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Horace
Silver and more.
