Matt Grinke's Happiest Jazz Quintet Play Classic Disney Songs at Viff Centre

About

The Happiest Big Band on Earth had their first show on April 27, 2018, and was born through Matt Grinke’s love of jazz and Disney. Since then, the Happiest band has continued to morph and shift into many different sounds and sizes, anywhere from a trio to the full 17-piece big band, including this quintet! Matt has also shifted from just a Disney fan to pianist and music director for Disney Cruise Line, and is more than happy to arrange and perform Disney tunes even when he’s not on contract! The band’s hour-long set will be followed by a brief intermission, and then a chance to enjoy the grooviest of the studio’s 20th century animated classics, the original 1967 version of The Jungle Book, featuring songs like I Wanna Be Like You, The Bare Necessities and Trust In Me.
