Boplore is a formation of some of Brisbane’s finest jazz musicians who come together to play a classic repertoire from the bebop and post bop era of the '50s and '60s.
The band is heavily inspired by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley and Clifford Brown. This incarnation of Boplore will include Dan Quigley on trumpet, Graeme Norris on sax plus a rhythm section made of students from the Jazz Music Institute (JMI).
Ahead of their next performance at JMI, Dan showcases his sneaker-freaker tendencies sharing 5 of his favourite styles of Tiger Asics shoes.
