In an exciting two-hour programme, the University of Greenwich Big Band brings its style of music to the historic Chatham Medway Campus, where it will play signature numbers representing early jazz, ragtime, dance and big band favourites in the old Pembroke Building Ward Room.
Come and hear about the history of Big Band and Jazz, and lesser known information on key musicians with a "chemical” history, and how chemistry has helped with making musical instruments.
Big Band Manager, Dr Fred Parrett – (SCI and ŷAV) – has put the presentation together linking the two seemingly unrelated topics of music and chemistry. Enjoy researched images from archives, old film footage and a plethora of little known facts and sit back and listen to great jazz and swing played by the Band.
