In the Mood

Get in the mood with the Johny Cooper Big Band

Get in the mood on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 February with the Johny Cooper Big Band live in concert at The Playhouse, Somerset West.

Recognised internationally and honoured by the American Big Band Hall of Fame, The Jonny Cooper Big Band is designated the Official Glen Miller Orchestra South Africa and was recently referred to in the International Big Band magazine 'Big Band Buddies' as 'One of the best Big Bands in the world’.

Playing to full houses throughout South Africa and internationally, The Jonny Cooper Big Band recreates the Swing era of the 1940’s. Consisting of four trumpets, four trombones, five saxes and a rhythm section, the orchestra replicates the visual appeal of the Big Band with waving trombones and shining trumpets moving in well drilled unison to drive home the riffs of Miller classics such as ‘In The Mood, String Of Pearls, Tuxedo Junction and Moonlight Serenade’. They also include other Big Band favourites of the era, with tributes to Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie and Duke Ellington.
