Knock your socks off this July with one of New Jersey's hottest big bands, The Jazz Lobsters, performing on Saturday, July 19 at 8 PM at the Centenary Stage Company as part of Hackettstown's swingin' Jazz in July series.
 The Jazz Lobsters Big Band - will be performing as a part of the 2008 Jazz In July Concert Series on July 19, 2008 |
Featuring the timeless music of Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Benny Goodman, Quincy Jones and many new hip arrangements, the Jazz Lobsters swing hard with everything from 40's swing to fiery Latin and salsa music.
Led by keyboardist and arranger James "King Salmon" Lafferty, the big band is filled with cutting-edge musicians from the tri-state area who have shared the stage and recorded with such artists as Stan Kenton, Tommy Dorsey, Bruce Springstein, The Asbury Jukes, Billy Joel, Jimmy Buffet, Sam and Dave, Charles Earland, Blood Sweat and Tears, and Tower of Power.
The inimitable Bob Ferry "fronts" the band, displaying amazing rock and jazz chops on guitar and playing anything from Wes Montgomery to Jimi Hendrix. Featured on tenors are Tom Labella and “The Professor,” Warren Fioretti, and “Mrs. Lobster,” Audrey Welber-Lafferty on alto sax and ripping up Benny Goodman favorites on clarinet. The incomparable Chino Roberts on vocals and percussion with his long dreds can take you from Cab Calloway to Bob Marley.
The Jazz Lobsters have something for everyone. The power and energy of the live big band will knock your socks off!
