CONGRESS
PARTY - APRIL 17, 2008
The Congress Party will be held Thursday at 7:30 pm in the MORITZ-BASTEI
a superb location in the City Centre of Leipzig.
Build between 1551 and 1553 the Moritzbastei is the
only remaining part of the ancient city fortifications,
nestled behind the Gewandhaus Concert Hall and City Skyscraper. The
Moritzbastei was commissioned by Elector Moritz of Saxony in the 16th
century and later named after him.
It has survived 400 tumultuous years and it was used
in many different ways. In 1974 students began to work on the Moritzbastei,
freeing it of the debris it was filled with. Since 1989, after the
fall of the Berlin Wall, the Moritzbastei serves as Cultural Centre
and event location.
WFC10 delegates will be charmed by the unique atmosphere of this extraordinary
venue.
| THE
PARTY FEATURES |
Gartshore's Gentlemen
|
 |
Gartshore's Gentlemen is a Jazzband featuring
any number of players. The standard setting is a piano quartet
- piano, guitar, bass and drums and the "full set"
has trumpets, trombones and saxophones added - a mini big
band!
Standard numbers are arranged in a completely different manner
- the repertoire includes 20's Fats Waller hit Honeysuckle
Rose, not as an up-tempo piano number, but as a laid back
guitar feature, wandering through different keys. Another
example is Ellington's "It don't mean a thing" -
no hectic for GG - here it's a dirty, low-down blues! All
the way to Las Vegas Swing, there's a bit of everything with
a distinct emphasis on entertainment! |
