The Jack Earle Big Band

One of Australia’s most exciting large jazz ensembles, The Jack Earle Big Band will take to the Hawthorn Arts Centre stage on Friday 27 August. Featuring 17 of Melbourne’s finest musicians, The Jack Earle Big Band will be joined by vocalist Alma Zygier, who has been fascinated by the pre-war era of jazz.

Jack Earle is a pianist, trumpet player, vocalist, conductor and composer. Established in 2008, The Jack Earle Big Band came together to perform annually at a local festival in their humble beginnings. After making their mark and forming their reputation, they went on to book performances at local jazz clubs. Since entering the Melbourne music scene, they have developed into one of the country’s most sought-after large ensembles.

The Jack Earle Big Band brings a wide array of professional experience with their group of musicians ranging in age from 20-60, and together with Alma Zygier, the historic Hawthorn Arts Centre will come alive for a night of powerful music.
