Vienne Jazz Festival 29th June

Tonights two performances in the Theatre Antique featured 'big' bands. First up were Jason Lindner's Big band from New York - playing some great up tempo east coast jazz - really great big band music

The view from the cheap seats!
Next on the bill were Laurent Cugney's enormous band. A well known european big band who have been apart for quite some time but reunited for this special show. Conducted and led by Laurent Cugny the played a varied reportoire featuring music from ONJ, Lumiere and Gil Evans who Laurent toured with in the late 70's. Again a terrific concert with some breathtaking solos from the front line.
