Kanga Bentley’s |
|
The Hot Foot Seven was formed in 1999 and
is led by popular trombonist Deryck
"Kanga" Bentley (formerly of the Graeme Bell
Band). They play the ‘rip roaring jazz’ of the 1920’s. Their unique sound
attracted ‘the woman with the very big voice”, Jim
McLeod, ABC Classic FM, singer Gail Kingston , to join the band in
Jan 2000 and with her distinctive and powerful vocals worked into the mix the
band has hit upon a winning formula. A lively, fun-loving eight-piece
band they have delighted audiences at festivals around Australia receiving
standing ovations at many of them. Their repertoire includes songs like You’ve
Got The Right Key But The Wrong Keyhole, Trombone
Cholly, Moan you
Moaners and classics like A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight. Their CD ‘To Life’ was the
number one best seller at ‘Jazzology’ in NSW and their latest CD
“Wimmin –Aah!” has been very well received
gaining the band national airplay on the ABC for the first time. When at home the Kanga
Band can be found at the Alma Hotel in Willunga SA, where, on Sundays
12.00 – 3.00ish they get together to relax and rehearse new songs in
front of their jazz loving friends. |
