Swinging Gatsby Party: Catherine Summers' New Orleans Nine

Black tie and ball-gowns are the attire tonight in the Diamond Lounge for full brass 9-Piece extravaganza from Catherine Summers. It's 1920s for the 2020s.

Enjoy full brass as it's best, a 9-piece outfit taking you on a trip back in time to the swinging 1920s with enigmatic Catherine Summers at the helm. The evening showcases a mix of New Orleans standards, Dixieland speakeasy toe-tapping favourites and reworkings of popular modern music into a variety of jazz styles. Bringing songs like David Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’ Beyoncé’s 'Crazy In Love' and Amy Winehouse's 'Back To Black’ to you like you’ve never heard before.

Come and enjoy a musically rich evening with the ever-charismatic Catherine Summers one of Perth’s premier jazz vocalists. Her rich honeyed voice, broad range, engaging stage presence and ‘instantly familiar’ candour has given her a title of a ‘delight to watch’. Acclaimed for her engaging live performances Catherine never fails to deliver playful swinging spirited performance.
