Fremantle Jazz Orchestra Under the direction of Shane Mancuso, the Fremantle Jazz Orchestra has strong ties both with the City of Fremantle, where it performs regularly, and with CBC Fremantle which produces many of its fine younger players. The Orchestra has a wide repertoire, ranging from the Swing Era through to the sound of a ‘contemporary big band’. Their vocalists also bring to life the songs and styles of Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble and Aretha Franklin. Yet another great community big band to enjoy at the Club.

Venue: Navy Club, Level 2, 64 High Street, Fremantle Date: Sunday 8 June, 4pm-7pm Admission prices apply. See website for details www.jazzfremantle.com.au
