Jim Miller Big Band hosted by Toowoomba Jazz Society
Advertisement
Jim Miller (1926 – 2012) formed this group around thirty years ago. He served in the RAAF during WWII, a period when big bands were very popular. He particularly enjoyed the music of Glen Miller and played this swing style of music with dance bands before forming his own big band.
The Jim Miller Big Band continues this tradition and popular tunes from Glen Miller, Duke Ellington and Count Basie are always part of the program presented. Since Jim’s passing, the band has
broadened its repertoire and even includes a few early rock and roll numbers.
Guest vocalists for the evening’s performance will be Sara Hales and Greg Bird. Both have sung with the band for a considerable period. Many of the tunes selected will be suitable for dancing.
