(CLASSIC HOMEMADE JAZZ)

BIRDLAND BROTHERS

These five "Usual Suspects" - the brothers Ralph on tenor saxophone, Wolff on drums and their closest musical friends - have spent a lot of time on stage (and in front of the bar) at BIRDLAND since they were very young. By their own admission, they studied at the Sheboygan Conservatory of Music* for three years before being dismissed early for good behavior. Tonight they'll be putting their own spin on timeless jazz classics "live" - although the result could somehow still come straight from a 1950s or 60s LP - and also checking whether Billy Wilder's three important rules of filmmaking can be applied directly to music-making: "Thou shalt not bore, thou shalt not bore, and thou shalt not bore!"

*("Good School.", Tony Curtis in "Some like it hot", 1959)

With:
