Boplicity brings serious groove and style to the Wakefield stage with a hard-swinging set of jazz favourites, all wrapped in punchy, inventive arrangements by tenor saxophonist Mike Hall. This tight-knit octet blends the drive of a big band with the intimacy of a small group—perfect for jazz fans who love their music bold, bright, and brilliantly played.
Expect playful twists on Ellington’s Nutcracker, a nostalgic nod to Tomorrow’s World, and surprises galore. With top-tier soloing, rich ensemble textures, and toe-tapping energy, Boplicity guarantees a night of jazz that’s as classy as it is fun.
Don’t miss this jazz night done right—Boplicity always brings the house down!
