The Basement Big Band
The Basement Big Band flaunts luscious brass, spicy rhythms and features many of Australia's flirtiest musicians.
With a nod to harlem’s cotton club or new orleans’ preservation hall they deliver their fiery brand of swinging riffs and infectious dance rhythms. They are a must see for lovers of swing music and are irresistibly danceable.

Janet Seidel
For her sixth release, Australian singer Janet Seidel continues to mine gems from the huge lode of popular music, this time focusing on tunes with a Gallic bent. Several of the tunes on the play list have a French origin, such as "A Man and a Woman" from the 1966 classic French film of the same name and "I Will Wait for You" from the soundtrack to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Virtually all of these, including the American pop tunes, are sung in French (like a native) and English. For those who need translating help, the lyrics are printed in both languages in the liner notes.
