  • Description

    The velvet-throated master crooner Duncan Galloway and the Pasadena Roof Orchestra perform a set of classic tunes from the 1920s and 30s with guest vocalists Les Brunettes and Laura Fygi.

    With its authentic 1920s and 30s music, the Pasadena Roof Orchestra has been selling-out concerts and playing at society dances for more than forty years. Using the original arrangements the eleven-piece band has earned itself a reputation for transporting the music forward into present times in a fashion both fascinating and true to the original spirit.



    Today the music is as popular as it has ever been. Big stars such as Robbie Williams and Bryan Ferry have been delving back into classic jazz and the Great American Songbook and they, of course, have employed members of the band on their recordings and on tour in order to create that authentic sound.



    Personnel: Duncan Galloway (vocals, bandleader), David Fort, Malcolm Baxter (trumpets), Adrian Fry (trombone), Sam Bullard (baritone and alto saxophone, clarinet), Oliver Wilby (tenor saxophone, clarinet), David Pritchard (alto saxophone, clarinet), John Sutton (drums), Graham Roberts (guitar, banjo), Simon Townley (piano), David Berry (double bass, sousaphone), Vocals: Laura Fygi (6, 12), Les Brünettes (2, 8)
