In Glasgow city centre on Friday 20 March? Fancy listening to some fine jazz performances?! Then you might like to attend a performance of the Strathclyde University Big Band. Free entry!

The Big Band comprises staff, students, alumni, and ex-staff of the University of Strathclyde (of which I am one!). The set list looks like it will feature standards by #Basie, #Cannonball #Adderley, and more.

Expect interpretations of compositions by Nat #Adderley, John #Coltrane, Count #Basie / Sammy Nestico, Bob #Mintzer, and more! Guest vocalist, Janine Capaldi, will be there too to provide some lovely singing. #jazz #BigBand #music

`When the #Basie #orchestra burst onto the national scene with its 1937 recordings & widely broadcast New York engagements, it gained a national following, with legions of #saxophone players striving to imitate Young, drummers striving to imitate Jo Jones, #piano players striving to imitate Basie, and #trumpet players striving to imitate Buck Clayton. Parker played along with the new Basie recordings on a #Victrola until he could play Young's solos note for note`
