About
Heritage Reunion is a jazz band for hire in Perth, WA.
Seven pieces playing New Orleans jazz the traditional way, with vocals and instrumental features sharing the spotlight. Heritage Reunion Jazz Band have played sell-out shows at Ellington's Jazz Club, the Duke of George, The Honky Tonk Bar, Jazz Club of WA and Jazz Fremantle, and they suit festivals, private parties and celebrations that want the Gatsby-era sound done properly rather than as costume. The band can play acoustically almost anywhere, though a PA is needed once vocals are involved. Smaller line-ups and roving arrangements can sometimes be worked out. Perth based.
The show
Seven players and the traditional New Orleans sound, which is more energetic than most people expect before they hear it. Heritage Reunion Jazz Band share things around: vocal numbers, then instrumental features where individual players step out and take a turn. It's the Gatsby-era repertoire done as music rather than as costume, and it works just as well for people who don't think of themselves as jazz listeners.
On the day
They can play acoustically in nearly any space, which opens up gardens, foyers and rooms with no gear at all. The moment vocals are involved, though, a PA is needed so the singing carries over seven instruments. That's the one thing to sort out. If your space has no system, mention it when you enquire and they'll talk through what the room needs.
