Shout Section Big Band

After a long time I got to hear the song "A Tisket - A Tasket" It was sung by Megan Rault with the Shout Section Big Band doing perfect justice to the music. The original song was by Ella Fitzgerald.

The director of the Band, Brett Dean was always present in the front giving directions as and when required.

At times he chipped in and that is when you can see him at the back giving that extra boost to the tempo.

I could not get the names of all the musicians, but I could see that each one contributed in a special way.

I was particularly impressed by Mike Benning on the double Bass. I mean continuously plucking on those thick strings must be pretty tough on those fingers.

Then there was Diego Rodriguez on the drums who did not miss a beat.

The rendition of Ba Ba Black sheep was done well by Kirby Fellis 

Jon Rarick had his own style and there was an extra gusto when he put on his hat.

You could see a few in the audience picking up a few steps but I was expecting more dancers considering the enticing jitterbug music that was being played.

One of the regulars I see at the Town square is Ken Czech who manages to capture some of the musicians in action.

Made a video on the song "The yellow basket" by Megan Rault.

The second video is a mix of all that they played in the evening. (in no particular order)
I am sure Jazz lovers would love it.
