Rebel Yell Jazz Orchestra is to play at St Nicholas Church, Chiswick at 7.30pm, on Friday 1 November. The programme will feature the virtuoso jazz suite ‘Fellini 712’.

The West London based jazz orchestra are returning to St Nicholas after two years to play the music of the legendary Kenny Clarke / Francy Boland Band Big band of the 1960s.

A highlight of the evening will be the bands interpretation of Francy Boland’s epic suite of music: ‘Fellini 712’ - a musical tribute to the city of Rome in three movements which evokes the magic, chaos and mystery of the Eternal City.

Over 40 minutes in duration, and originally recorded by the Clarke-Boland Big Band in December 1968, the piece has long considered one of the highwater marks in jazz writing.

Now transcribed specially to suit the individual strengths of Rebel Yell, band leader Bill Symington describes ‘Fellini 712’ as ‘one of the most audacious long-form pieces ever written for jazz orchestra’

Tickets on the door: £10.00 (£7.00 concessions); Friends of St Nicholas Church: free

Doors open 6.30pmand there will be a cash bar.

The event is organised by The Friends of St Nicholas Church, Church Street, W4 2PH in aid of the restoration of the exterior stonework of the building.
