Michael Gamble Octet

On Saturday night we are thrilled  to be featuring the Michael Gamble and The Rhythm Serenaders Octet!  

Michel Gamble’s band is one of the most active and dedicated dance bands working today, having at some point headlined all of the major US festivals.  He always brings the best musicians with him and Flying Home will be no exception.  Look for Gordon Au on trumpet and more of your favorite musicians!

 The Rhythm Serenaders Octet pays tribute to probably the least-discussed configuration in the genre: the “medium-sized” band. This version has a full 4pc rhythm section plus a 4-horn frontline of trumpet, trombone, and two reed players. Vocals are prominently featured in part because this band pays a lot of attention to the recordings of the Teddy Wilson “Orchestra”, an ever-shifting studio format that often featured The who’s-who of the day’s leading performers, and especially built around the vocal performances of Billie Holiday.
