BRATTLEBORO-Enjoy some swing at the Brattleboro Music Center Saturday, October 26, when Zara Bode's Little Big Band returns. The performance is set for 7 p.m. at the BMC.
Inspired by the American radio hits of the 30s and 40s, the Little Big Band features vocalist Zara Bode (of Signature Sounds artists The Sweetback Sisters) and a horn section led by clarinetist and arranger Anna Patton.
Over the last four years, "the Little Big Band has become a local favorite," say event organizers, "digging into the classics with affection and aplomb. For their October program, the band will delve into the spooky, startling, and sometimes absurd side of the Big Band tradition, inspired by the strange drama of some of Duke Ellington's later concert pieces and film and theater scores by the likes of Henry Mancini."
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and are available on the BMC website at bmcvt.org, by phone at 802-257-4523, or by emailing info@bmcvt.org.
