This event has now passed
Huge Xmas Spectacular! Jeff Duff, Emma Pask, Frank Bennett with the Disciples Of Duff Orchestra (DODO) and introducing...the sexy DODO Dancers!Due to the huge success of Jeff Duff's 'Sinatra Rocks The Basement' earlier this year, a couple of Vegas style shows are announced for the 2008 festive season. The show launches into the songbooks of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald & more. Ol' Blue Eyes with an extra kick! Ella with a lot more cheek! Jeff Duff will share vocal duties with Emma Pask, the hottest female jazz voice in the country (and James Morrison's diva of choice) and the incomparable Frank Bennett. "These three amazing live singers & performers take ratpack into the 21st century"Jeff, Emma, Frank & the dancers will be backed by the most exciting new big band in the land, "The Disciples of Duff Orchestra". Blessed with one of the most soulful voices in Australia, Jeff is also known for his flamboyant live performances. With a prolific recording & live performance catalogue behind him Jeff is on the verge of releasing his 26th album. He recently recorded an album with members of legendary British rock band Deep Purple. This year Aztec music has released two brilliant jazz rock albums Jeff recorded with his jazz rock band Kush. The Duffo legend is uniquely linked somewhere between Sinatra & Bowie! "Emma Pask....Is the greatest gift to Australian Jazz Vocals in the last decade", is how James Morrison, Australia's most awarded jazzman, describes her. Her performances are reminiscent of the classic era of jazz, when swing was top of the charts. Emma is one of the most dynamic vocalists working in Australia & an exciting live performer. The singer's singer.Frank Bennett's uncanny ability to recapture the magic of Sinatra in concert is cleverly counterpoised by his penchant for performing and recording contemporary pop hits a la big band. In short, Frank Bennett has over twenty five years experience in show business and possesses a charismatic and seductive stage presence. He lays claim to a myriad of accolades and awards but what that all gets down to is the simple fact that Frank Bennett has one incredible voice!The Disciples Of Duff Orchestra (DODO) is without a doubt one of the most inspiring new big band ensembles playing the circuit. The line-up features the hottest musicians in Australia, including trombonistcomposer Dave Panichi, who served his apprenticeship in the USA with Buddy Rich Big Band & 'Blood Sweat & Tears' & saxophonist Dave Theak, founder of the amazing Mothership Orchestra. For a big band playing jazz, these guys rock!
