“It don’t mean a thing, if it aint’ got that swing.”  The popular song lyric sums up the mindset of concert-goers to Big Band Fever, a swinging concert by the Space Coast Symphony JAZZ Orchestra, featuring Big Band music of the 1940s. Brevard will have two chances to catch Big Band Fever, first at 2:00 PM and again at 7:00 PM on Saturday, October 5 at the Scott Center for Performing Arts at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, 5625 Holy Trinity Drive in Suntree.  Under the direction of band leader Frank Wosar, the dynamic Space Coast Symphony Jazz Orchestra will swing the hottest decade of Big Band hits in this entertaining performance. The audience can expect to hear Central Florida’s finest jazz musicians perform selections from the legendary bands of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington and many more. Favorite songs like “Sing, Sing, Sing” “Begin the Beguine,” “Hawaiian War Chant,” “Caravan” and “Luck be a Lady” are all on the program. To add to the excitement, four Arthur Murray dancers will perform dance numbers to the music of the 1940’s. Director of Jazz Bands at Valencia College, Frank Wosar is a four-time Down Beat Award winner for outstanding jazz solo. $25 advance tickets for adults are available through the orchestra website at www.SpaceCoastSymphony.org or at Marine Bank & Trust in Suntree.  Tickets at the door are $30.

“The bios of our players read like a ‘Who’s Who’ of jazz,” said Wosar. “They have played with some of the biggest names of yesterday and today. Between the talent onstage and incredible 40’s music to draw from, this will be one swinging jazz concert.”
