About this concert
This coming Sunday, November 13th, in keeping with the spirit of Remembrance Day, the Advocats are performing some of the most memorable and inspiring music that came from the Second World War years. Join us at The Duke Toronto from 5:00 to 7:30 pm. And - Our new album, "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS SWING" is out, so we are going to have a DRAW during the second set and if you are present and your ticket number is called, you will WIN a free CD and Download Card! (If you win and you have already purchased a CD and/or Download Card at the performance, you will have the option to have your payment refunded.) You will get a ticket for the draw when you arrive. As a reminder, The Duke Toronto is located at 1225 Queen Street East, on the southwest corner of Queen and Leslie. There is parking in back and street parking nearby. The Queen streetcar stops right in front. Cover $15 cash. We would love for you to join us.

The Toronto-based Advocats Big Band, originally assembled in 1991 by a group of young lawyers to perform for a local fundraiser, includes many top professional musicians and music educators whose collective experience range from studio, theatre, film and television work to major symphony orchestra, night club and chamber music. The Advocats have played at many venues throughout Toronto: Old Mill Toronto, The Rex Hotel, the Beaches International Jazz Festival, Eat to the Beat, and the Silver Ball, the Sunday Concert Series at the Scarborough Civic Centre and the Sunday Serenades at Mel Lastman Square, to name a few. For almost 20years, we have performed on the first Monday of every month starting at the Chick ‘N Deli and currently at The Duke Toronto! We are so thankful to our ever-growing following of loyal listeners. Our repertoire includes classics played by the likes of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and music from modern talents like Michael Bublé, the New York Voices, and Norah Jones. Believe us, the list goes on!
