The Pearly Shells

The Pearly Shells have emerged from Melbourne’s musical soup with a modern twist on a classic sound. This Ten Piece Little Big Band (comprising of 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, piano, double bass, guitar and drums) has a style and look reminiscent of the Golden Age of Ellington, Basie and Goodman from the wall of horns sound right down to the Hollywood style, luminescent clam-shell stands.Playing their own arrangements of the Big Band classics and Pearly Shell originals, the band is famous with dancers for its ability to leave the written music behind when things are really swinging!
