A season of concerts by Swingshift Big Band
Music director Phil Shotton
The club’s working relationship with Swingshift Big Band has prospered for over 7 years. The band has performed over 20 well attended concerts at SMJ events with guest appearances from some of the finest jazz musicians in the business. Phil has always led from the sax section, offtimes through some snortingly difficult charts, with great confidence and the band has generated a consistently improving sound and unwavering audience popularity. We have pleasure in announcing a series of three matinee concerts in which Swingshift will showcase the music of some of the greatest ever big bands. These gigs are in addition to the club’s regular Sunday events.
