Arrowtown Day of Jazz - Queenstown Jazz Orchestra @ Buckingham Green

26 October 2014 12:00pm - 2:00pm

Buckingham Green

The Arrowtown Day of Jazz kicks off at midday on the Buckingham Green and what better way to begin your Sunday afternoon of jazz than with the Queenstown Jazz Orchestra.

The Queenstown Jazz Orchestra plays a wide range of big band style tunes from Glenn Miller, Buddy Rich, Frank Sinatra and Count Basie through to Michael Buble and Chicago. The first big band in the Wakatipu and the only ensemble in the Southern Lakes, Central Otago and Southland, the 18 piece band are passionate about jazz and feature at many high profile events - both corporate and community. The orchestra's members come from throughout Otago and as far afield as New York.

This is a great opportunity to see some of the region's best jazz exponents mix it up with a veritable cocktail of big band jazz standards and musings.
