JAZZ BELOW THE STARS
In conection with Musical Summer Nights arranged by the festival
committee of the village the eminent instrumental and vocal group the
Golden Jazz Band recently was an attractiuon in Roure: A jazz concert on
the grand scale.
In the full width of two hours below a starry sky and in front of an
enthusiastic audience the jazz lovers - and you cannot cheat them - were
overwhelmed by the versatile and wonderful interpretation by the very
young female singer accompanied by an instrumental orchestra whose style
intentionally is oriented towards the big historic big bands from the
great period like the Cotton Club.
As Count and Duke would have done it.
In great spirits of parade the audience were totally overjoyed by Count
Basie's, Dukke Ellington's, and Cole Porter's standards and their applause
caused up to several encores of new songs.
Great art during an evening that deserves to be repeated.
