MUSIC Guy Le Claire Trio. Today, 9pm, The Jazz Club, $80 Virtuoso Australian guitarist Le Claire, partnered by the formidable bass and drums team of Peter Scherr and Anthony Fernandes, will be performing a set of jazz standards and original compositions which tonight is being recorded for international CD release.
The trio enjoy an enthusiastic following which will undoubtedly want to be part of the record of the evening, so showing up early is advisable.
Le Claire's playing is technically highly adept but tasteful rather than flashy, which matches Scherr's approach to the double bass. Fernandes requires no introduction.
This should be an interesting show - so be there.
Alley Cats. Tomorrow 8.30pm, Fringe Club Theatre, $120, members, senior citizens and the disabled $90, students $80 A rare opportunity to hear good American college a cappella singing from a group of well established exponents of the style.
The Alley Cats, who should be considerably more melodilous than their name implies, are the latest incarnation of an ensemble founded in 1943 and specialise in jazz, but also perform barbershop material, as you may expect, along with pop standards, ballads and show tunes.
