Swingin' With The Mighty Wurli

Baycourt’s ‘Mighty Wurli’ will roar to life when Australian virtuoso organist Scott Harrison teams up with the ever-popular Katikatz Jazz Band for a musical experience that blends the lively swing of Dixieland jazz, with the grandeur and power of Baycourt’s nearly 100-year-old Wurlitzer theatre organ.

Swingin’ with the Mighty Wurli isn’t just a concert—it’s a journey through time, including tunes from the golden eras of Dixieland and silent film, to Disney movie classics and more. Featuring solos from both Scott and the Katikatz Jazz Band along with ensemble pieces, Swingin’ with the Mighty Wurli promises a delightful mix of nostalgia, whimsy, and musical brilliance that will resonate with audiences of all ages.
