- **Event Name**: The Firebug Big Band Presents: Phat!!! A Gordon Goodwin Tribute
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+08:00)
- **Event Description**: Strap in for an explosive night of high-octane big band jazz as The Firebug Big Band celebrates the music of Gordon Goodwin — one of the most electrifying voices in contemporary large-ensemble jazz.

From blistering brass lines and razor-sharp saxophone writing to deep grooves, swaggering swing, and jaw-dropping solo features, Phat!!! dives headfirst into the bold, cinematic sound that has defined Goodwin’s legendary Big Phat Band. Expect precision, power, and personality in equal measure, as the Firebug musicians bring this technically demanding and rhythmically ferocious repertoire roaring to life.

Under the direction of Musical Director Taj Johnstone, this tribute showcases the full firepower of the modern big band: punchy horn hits, infectious Latin + funk influences, and moments of lyricism that remind you why Goodwin’s music has become a benchmark for 21st-century jazz orchestras.

Whether you’re a die-hard jazz fan, a big band tragic, or simply craving an evening of unapologetically loud, fun, and virtuosic live music, Phat!!! promises a concert that crackles with energy from the first downbeat to the final hit.
