Bb Scene / Benny Lee & His Country Syncopators
25 nov. kl 21:30 - kl 23:30
«Take a Jazz Band with a Country Beat…»
Benny Lee is mixing his passion for Classic Country Music and Early Jazz in a single repertoir, taking his inspiration from some of the pioneers of northern american music from Nashville to New Orleans.
The orchestration brings back the sound of Country Bands from mid 1940s using both strings and wind instruments, acoustic or electric and vocal harmonies. It gives the band a large field to explore differents registers of the Great American Songbook.
«…it’s Midwestern Swing for your dancing feet.»
