Count Basie, Peggy Lee and Bobby Darin is featured in the concert, along with popular classics recently revived by contemporary crooners such as Michael Bublé and Harry Connick Jr. Formed by Les in 1996, the Swing Force Big Band is a thirteen-piece group. It includes trumpets, trombones, saxophones, piano, bass and drums, plus outstanding vocalists – father and daughter duo, Greg and Katey Aspeling. Although he has always had a love for jazz and swing since he was a child, Greg is a relative newcomer to the professional music scene. His break came in 2007 when he was cast with his daughter Katey in the Arts Centre Gold Coast’s produc- tion of Broadway In Concert, a showcase of songs from great Broadway musicals. Over the next few years he gained more performance experience but it wasn’t until 2009, when he met renowned jazz keyboardist, arranger and musical director Rick Best that his career began to skyrocket. Rick and Greg began performing together and also joined one of the Coast’s big bands. In 2010, Greg and Katey were invited to join Les Wil- son’s Swing Force Big Band, which gave them both the opportunity to focus on the music they loved best. ‘I really enjoy the music of the jazz and swing singers from the Golden Era – Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald,’ says Greg, ‘but I have always had a soft spot for Bobby Darin.’ Greg says Katey has been sing- CAPTAIN WOW C ing for as long as he can remember! ‘I used to URRUMBIN RSL sing her to sleep instead of reading bedtime SUNDAY www.tweedecho.com.au The Tweed Shire Echo July 14, 2011 13 The Here you will fi nd some of the best local dining on off er.
