Tim Parish – Fella sings Ella

 

A lifetime love of the swing and Jazz genre has given Tim Parish a rich repertoire of music from soulful jazz ballads to the most light and frothy tunes from the golden era of swing. In recent years he has performed with the wonderful Libby Hammer in a number of shows, beginning with ‘Shall We France’ which had its debut at Jazz Fremantle in 2020 and he has taken his Fringe Show ‘Fella Sings Ella’ down South and now an extended show with new songs at Jazz Fremantle. Tim Parish and his band are swinging Jazz Fremantle with songs from the scintillating repertoire of the Queen of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald. Starting with her first hit ‘A Tisket, A Tasket’, you, the audience, select the songs from Ella’s ‘Little Yellow Basket’ on the day, so you never know what song will come next! Whether you are a lover of Ella Fitzgerald or just exploring jazz for the first time, there is something for everyone, from the brightest swing to brooding ballads spanning Ella’s career. You choose. With a voice like hot Spanish chocolate on a cool Autumn day and a trio of Perth’s top jazz musicians, Tim Parish and the band are here waiting to see what song you pick from the basket to give you a night of fabulous music and a glimpse at the life of the superb Lady Ella. Tim Parish is joined by Gavin Kerr on drums, Shane Pooley on Bass and James O’Brian on keyboard and with scores adapted by Libby Hammer, it promises to be an afternoon of variety, unexpected moments and a sample of a beloved performer’s career that spanned an amazing 6 decades.

The Master & The Apprentice

 

Roger Garood (The Master) has been the sax jazz master in Perth for 6 decades and Simon Styles was one of the thousands of students he taught. For the first time in 40 years, Roger and Simon front their own alto madness quintet (plus 1) playing tunes Roger introduced to Simon in the early 80s – standards, Parker, Cannonball, Horace Silver, Eddie Daniels and much more. The band’s rep is interspersed through the
afternoon with Bronwyn Sprogowski’s amazing jazz vocals and improvisations. Roger has asked Simon to review material from those early lessons 40 yrs ago. No doubt the Master will still have a few tricks up his sleeve for the afternoon and perhaps some advice as well! Roger Garood, Simon Styles saxes, David Martinus piano, Phil Waldron bass, Pete Evans drums and Bronwyn Sprogowski Vocals look forward to
seeing you.
