Description
The band's portfolio includes music by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billy May, Bob Crosby, King Oliver, Bob Haggart, Matty Matlock and Billy Maxted. While the group has deep roots in Classic and traditional Jazz, you will also hear charts by Joe DeWeese, Dave Wolpe, Scott Whitfield and many other modern day arrangers, custom written for this incredible ensemble. BILL ALLRED’S CLASSIC JAZZ BAND has developed a reputation for their varied and sometimes outrageous choice of material and their unbelievable power and musical fire!. All of this is wrapped up in a neat package that also includes superb individual improvisation, soulful vocals and a lot of good musical fun. For a band that really didn't intend to follow the Festival and concert trail, they are approaching a tenth year of touring and enjoying an ever growing following of dedicated fans.
Bill Allred's Classic Jazz Band has appeared at Jazz Festivals in Sacramento, Palm Springs and Mammoth Lakes, California; Clearwater, Florida; Sisters and Medford, Oregon; Davenport, Iowa, Decatur, Illinois, Sun Valley, Idaho; lacrosse, Wisconsin; Elkhart, Indiana; International Jazz Festivals in Birmingham, England and Bern, Switzerland and concerts in London and Southampton. Bill Allred's Classic Jazz Band also enjoyed the coveted title of "Jazz Band in Residence" during a week long performance at the Hong Kong Arts Festival in 1993.
In September of 1999 the band performed on the Crystal Cruise Ship Symphony on a two week tour of the Mediterranean. As a exciting climax to the cruise, the band played at the prestigious Rome Jazz Club ALPHEUS. The event was a fund-raiser for the Rome-based World Food Program. The concert was very successful and raised a considerable sum of money to send food to the people of Angola.
