A C.L.BOB show is a complete guerilla musical experience that takes you on a tour of duty through beautiful composed ballads, raw intense free jazz and back, rollicking and laughing, then running for cover, through just plain fun tunes. C.L.BOB play from the heart and soul, searching for the magic that defines great live music while never forgetting that the audience must not forget the show. No other band in the world will take you from HENDRIX to SUN RA then back to ole New Orleans within the action-packed intensity of a minute. Last summer the band completed a tour of the South Island and Melbourne where they played three gigs as part of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival. This is the band's ninth tour in New Zealand. C.L.BOB have headlined the last two Wellington International Jazz Festivals and have toured the country to sell-out crowds eight times over the last seven years. The band repertoire is completely original with strong influences from rock, folk, free jazz, New Orleans music, Bebop, Afro-Cuban styles, reggae and even country. It's the jazz of today, unafraid to look back. C.L.BOB are the one of the best and most enjoyable jazz bands touring in New Zealand and have developed a loyal following - just ask the fans who pack out all the gigs. |
