Derek-Hines

 

On the heels of their debut Jazz Room performance Derek Hines and the Little Big Band is back for another swinging night of modern and classic standards. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear some of the regions finest musicians perform together.

Derek Hines’ book of vocals is quite diverse.  The themes focus on traditional standards from Evans to Monk.  The sub-plots are a jazz take on legends from Lennon/McCartney to Jimmy Webb. Highlights of his career include performances with Freddy Cole, and 70′s television great John Davidson.  This path also led to a five year run with Carnival Cruise Lines where he cut his teeth nightly with some of the world’s finest musicians.
