Craig Schneider’s Kings of Swing
Friday 26th April at the Eltham Bowling Club
Led by award-winning pianist and vocalist Craig Schneider, the band features a four-piece horn section (two saxophones, a trumpet and trombone) and three-piece rhythm section. Craig was Musical Director for the UK, European and US tours of the hit West End show THE RAT PACK LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS, and has toured all over Australia as MD for the show SWING ON THIS. The septet performs Craig’s own arrangements of classic jazz and swing tunes as well as original compositions. And with a repertoire ranging from the classic swing of Count Basie and Duke Ellington, through the jump jive and R'n'B sounds of Louis Jordan and Louis Prima plus a healthy dose of the Rat Pack, Nat 'King' Cole, Bobby Darin, Craig Schneider’s Kings of Swing take the audience on a journey from the 40’s to today.
