Cairo Club Orchestra

The hot jazz, blues, and swing of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s has been brought to Australia by the Melbourne-based Cairo Club Orchestra. Led by trumpet player and musicologist Peter Milley, the group remains committed to recapturing the musical magic of the past. Comprised of members of the American Society of Twenties Orchestras, the Cairo Club Orchestra has striven for authenticity in their sound. In addition to using vintage microphones, the group continues to search through old scores and transcriptions of old 78 rpm recordings for new material. ~ Craig Harris
