Big Band Day: MUBA bigbänd
Monday, April 14, 8 p.m. at Philly Joe's Jazz Club
The new Big Band Day series brings Estonia's beloved jazz orchestras to Philly Joe's Jazz Club and revives the scene from the early days of underground jazz clubs - rows of instrumentalists on stage, thrilling rhythms and a liveliness that will keep you entertained throughout the whole evening!
Our next concerts in the series will introduce the new generation of Estonian rhythm music, both singers and instrumentalists. The MUBA (Tallinn Music and Ballet School) big band is an orchestra consisting of young talented musicians that captivates with their youthful energy and beloved big band jazz tunes!
The group is led by Siim Aimla.

Between live sets, the music will be curated by Philly Joe's staff, playing strictly vinyl!
