Julian Bliss and the King of Swing at Wigmore Hall

Julian Bliss and his sextet recreate the irresistible energy and revolutionary invention of music by Benny Goodman, who reigned as undisputed King of Swing in the 1930s and 1940s.

Bliss formed his ace band in partnership with pianist Neal Thornton three years ago. ‘We spent months listening to every version of each tune we could find, and putting together our own versions while still being mindful of the light and fun feel Goodman captured all those years ago,’ he recalls.

The septet will be performing at Wigmore Hall as part of the Wigmore Lates series. Tickets and more information is available at the address below.
