Formed in 2018 for the Sunday Hot Club in Brisbane, Rythme Mélodique features an unusual line-up of the two-reed front line, reminiscent of the Soprano Summit recordings of Bob Wilber and Kenny Davern from the 1970s.
The band’s name literally translates to what the group strives to present – tuneful melodies with an infectious beat. Borrowing from those recordings, the repertoire includes a few French tunes, some less commonly heard songs, and plenty of favourite swing jazz standards.
The outstanding musicians engaged for this concert are Paul Hendon – clarinet and saxophones; Paul Williams – clarinet and saxophone; Jo Bloomfield – piano; John Conley – double bass; Dave Burrows – guitar; and Hannah Groves, with her pure voice and laid-back style is sure to delight.
With the blending of the two lyrical Pauls (Williams & Hendon), backed by the pick of southeast Queensland’s rhythm section musicians, and the bonus of Hannah’s singing, this promises to be a delightful show that should not be missed.
Enjoy this experience at The Majestic Theatre, Pomona, on Thursday 27 March; the doors open at noon, and the music starts at 1pm.
