Final Effort to Get the Rodger Fox Big Band to Monterey
The Final Fundraising Effort “to Get the Rodger Fox Big Band to Monterey”
The Wellington Mingus Ensemble is back, in all its ruthless glory. Join this full-strength big band as they obliterate the Grand Hotel with a blitzkrieg of brutal, relentless Mingus charts in a fundraiser to help get the Rodger Fox Big Band member to the Monterey Jazz Festival.
It's going to get messy, blood will be spilt, heads will roll and Hikurangi's luscious hair will be matted with the sweat of his enemies.
As always, we've got new tunes, but we're channeling the same ole Mingus magic.
Dance. Drink. Total Annihilation. Adrenaline. Joy. Charles Mingus.
Followed by The Rodger Fox Big Band featuring vocalist Erna Ferry with Mike Booth on Trumpet. This performance will feature the material the band is going to perform while in the USA.
Check it all out ... Support the cause.
