BIS Jazz at Bourbon Street Jazz Festival 2015

On Saturday 30^th May, the BIS Big Band and the Jazz Quintet were privileged to be invited to play at the ‘Bourbon Street Jazz Festival 2015’, held at the fantastic Q4 events arena. The band played a set of 4 songs including our favourite tune ‘The Jazz Police’ and our first performance of the funky tune ‘What Is Hip’. In between the Big Band set, the Jazz Quintet played ‘Cold Duck Time’ and ‘Watermelon Man’, featuring some excellent improvised solos from all the members of the group.

Both groups played to an extremely professional standard and the sets were met by very positive feedback from a large audience.

We enjoyed the opportunity to play on the huge Q4 stage with full lights and sound and hope to be invited back next year.
