Something special is coming to Gold Coast City Jazz Club from 7pm on Tuesday 21 April as Rick Best and Stealing Thunder take the stage.The big bands often had smaller groups that performed and recorded as separate entities – Benny Goodman, for example, had his Trio, Quartet and Sextet formats, while members of Duke Ellington’s orchestra often recorded in smaller groups under
the leadership of band members such as Johnny Hodges.
In that tradition, Stealing Thunder is a small group from within the Sweet Thunder Jazz Orchestra, comprising Scott Browne (trumpet/flugelhorn), Dave ‘Tenorsaurus’ Cox (saxes), Rodney Ford (drums/vocals), John Conley (bass) and Rick Best (piano).
The less formal, setting of this smaller group allows these players greater scope to stretch out, free from the constraints that playing in a tightly arranged big band context inevitably bring.
The result is exhilarating…
