Sounds Of The Glenn Miller Era

When: 30th September 2012 5:30pm-8pm
Where: Her Majesty’s Theatre, 57 Haymarket, London SW1Y 4QL

The Nick Ross Orchestra is to bring the Big Band Sound of the 1940s back to Her Majesty’s Theatre, London, on Sunday 30th September in a spectacular concert celebrating Glenn Miller and the Big Band era.

With a full line-up of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, a rhythm section and guest vocalists, The Nick Ross Orchestra will faithfully recreate the wonderful sounds of such Big Bands as those led by Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey and Syd Lawrence.

Featuring such numbers as “Moonlight Serenade”, “In the Mood”, “A String of Pearls”, “Little Brown Jug” and “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” memories of wartime and the Blitz will no doubt be brought flooding back to life. The music will span almost all the emotions of those difficult times: comradeship, doubt, fear, loss and, most significantly, the hope in love. There have been times in history when composers and musicians seemed to be born to the occasion – none more so than the inimitable Glenn Miller who not only felt instinctively for the mood of the time but almost single-handed created the spirit with which the public faced it.

The Nick Ross Orchestra uses arrangements exactly as recorded in the Great Swing Era of the 40′s, coupled with outstanding instrumental and vocal performances. This special concert celebrating the inimitable Glenn Miller and other Big Band greats promise to be unmissable evening of music and song.
