Big band swing is hitting Shanghai this Saturday as The Pearl hosts it's inaugural concert and debut of The Pearl Big Band. Jazz fans should get their fix as a 16 piece group backs top class swing singer Frank Bray for 3 hours of music and entertainment.

Pearl Girl dancers will add further flair to the occasion, kicking off at 7pm, 'til late. Afterwards The Pearl's resident DJ Bernar will be spinning the decks with a fusion of swing, jazz and big band mixed with modern house, electro, hip hop, drum and bass and dubstep.
