The Mainstream Oktet is an eight-piece jazz ensemble of very experienced musicians. Their repertoire is swinging mainstream jazz, with music by Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, Jimmy Van Heusen, Neal Hefti, Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Carter, arranged with good melodies and convincing solos.
The players have shared stages across many of Denmark's jazz circles over the years, and after three years of rehearsing in a Hellerup jazz cellar they are now ready to take their sound out to audiences. This evening at Baghuset is one of those first chances to hear them live.
