Don’t miss Peter Milley and the famous Cairo Club Orchestra live at The Count’s as they reanimate the Jazz Age soundtrack of the prohibition era.
For more than three decades, Cairo Club Orchestra has showcased Melbourne’s highest calibre musicians who play with the sort of precision and cohesiveness that is developed through many years of performing together. Their innate sense of swing and hot solos played on period instruments convey an infectious sense of joy and fun as they romp their way through timeless gangster jazz, and the hot rhythm dance music of the flappers.
Band leader, trumpeter, and music historian, Peter Milley, has led the famous Cairo Club Orchestra for over thirty years. Combined with his vast library of original Jazz Age band arrangements is Peter’s unique wit and detailed historical knowledge of the sound, repertoire, and performance nuances of the Jazz era.
