31st July – Jim Miller Big Band

Reservations – please text the reservation number – 0460 869 256

Jim Miller (1926 – 2012) formed this group around thirty years ago. He served in the RAAF during WWII, a period when big bands were very popular. He particularly enjoyed the music of Glen Miller and played this swing style of music with dance bands before forming his own big band. The Jim Miller Big Band continues this tradition and popular tunes from the big band era are always part of the program presented. Since Jim’s passing, the band has broadened its repertoire and even includes a few early rock and roll numbers.
Guest vocalists for the evening’s performance will be Sarah Hales and Carmen Traise. Many of the tunes selected will be suitable for dancing.
