MATT DARRIAU’S BALLIN’ THE JACK DOES THE MARX BROTHERS featuring ROY NATHANSON
Matt Darriau-alto saxophone, clarinet, Roy Nathanson vocals, alto saxophone, Frank London-trumpet, Andy Laster-baritone saxophone, clarinet, Curtis Hasselbring-trombone, Anthony Coleman-piano, keyboard, Joe Fitzgerald-bass, George Schuller-drums
With Jungle, this septet did one of the most amusing Ellington tributes ever heard, original, authentic and full of passion. In a line up taken from the ‘A list’ of Downtown Manhattan, they dive into the songs and solos from the thirteen Marx Brothers films. The favourite of the public, no doubt, will be the irresistible Roy Nathanson who shows a strong resemblance to Groucho.
