Israel's own 'King of Swing', Glaswegian Harvey Benson and pzazz Band together with ace songstress Gilda Hami, paid a repeat visit to the lower Galilee recently when they performed at Karmiel municipal auditorium. This was their second gig in the beautiful garden city located in the frozen north with their eclectic program of Jazz, Blues and famous Broadway hits. The evening went with the aforementioned swing for which the band is famous amongst Israel's Anglo community. Solo vocalist Gilda, who sings in the Billie Holiday style, belted out many of those perennial favorites that audiences of a certain age love so much. All money raised from the performance is going towards a special project for Karmiel Kfar Yeladim for which ESRA Karmiel is fundraising.
■ Continuing with their fundraising series of concerts for ESRA in 2018, you can catch PzazzBand and Gilda on June 13 for ESRA Rehovot, June 21 for ESRA Modin and on August 6 for ESRA Herzliya. For details check out their website: www.pzazzband.com
