Zara Bode’s Little Big Band

Enjoy some swing at the Brattleboro Music Center Saturday, October 26, when Zara Bode’s Little Big Band returns to delight the ears, eyes and feet.

The performance is set for 7:00 p.m. at the BMC.

Inspired by the American radio hits of the 30’s and 40’s, the Little Big Band features top shelf chanteuse Zara Bode (of Signature Sounds artists The Sweetback Sisters) and a sizzling horn section led by clarinetist and arranger Anna Patton. Over the last four years, the Little Big Band has become a local favorite, digging into the classics with affection and aplomb. Inspired by the strange drama of some of Duke Ellington’s concert pieces and film and theater scores by Henry Mancini, the band will delve into the spooky, startling, and sometimes absurd side of the Big Band tradition for this October program.
