Benny & The Boys

  • Wesley Anne 250 High Street Northcote Hill , VIC, 3070 Australia (map)

Front Bar

Two of Melbourne’s emerging jazz artists, Josh Milton (Vibraphone) and Cameron McIntyre (Clarinet), have come together to present a shared love for some of the most celebrated swing music of the 30’s and 40’s; the collected works of Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton.

Their passion for the music of this era has manifested in recreating Benny Goodman’s classic quintet, along with Rowan Pattison (Guitar) Haydn Murtagh (Bass) and Alex Keser (Drums) in order to present a collection of their favourite recordings from the RCA Victor sessions. Amongst their repertoire is a mix of the band’s classics, retold jazz standards, and several more obscure tunes that this ensemble is dedicated to reviving in today’s jazz scene.
