Jazzamanca is back!

Spike Mason (Wind instruments), Louise Denson (Piano) with Seb Folvig (Bass) and Tom Robb (Drums)

Multi-instrumentalist Spike Mason and pianist/composer Louise Denson are thrilled to be jointly presenting some of their Jazz tunes which have been inspired by the earth, the sea and the sky.

Jazz isn’t always gritty, big-city music.

Float in the interstellar peace of Nova Nova.
Contemplate the mystery of a Low Moon.
Lie back and watch the Clouds, or a wedge tail Ride the Thermals.
Spend a day by the Seamless Sea or the River Jordan ….

Join us for these natural delights and many more.

Jazzamanca is back!

Nadira Farid and her NEW friends : Bob Sedergreen, Hamish Houston, Ted Vining. Live in the Founders Room.

---

Anyone who has seen Nadira Farid perform knows this petite bundle of dynamite entertains with oodles of contagious joy.

Over the past 10 years Nadira has performed at Clubs and Festivals across Australia, accompanied by leading Jazz musicians – and it doesn’t stop here – Bob Sedergreen and Ted Vining are both inductees to the Australian Jazz Hall Of Fame!  Add Hamish Houston, who has taken over Nick Haywood’s mantle as the ‘most in demand bass player in Tasmania, and it’s a top shelf band.

The Randall Muir Trio offers you some home cookin’, a celebration of the music associated with all that is soulful, from home-cooked chitlins to hard bop, blues and jazz.

The instrumentation of these jazz sub-genres often included Hammond organ, which was considered a less sophisticated jazz instrument, but one deeply connected with gospel and the blues. Guitar and drums are the perfect compliment to the Hammond, and Tenor Saxophone completes the sound.
Great groups with this instrumentation include Jack McDuff’s quartets and Jimmy Smith’s collaborations with Kenny Burrell and Stanley Turrentine.

Playing the repertoire of these groups and others will be Alistair Dobson on Tenor Saxophone, Aaron Entresz on Guitar, Tom Robb on drumkit and Randall Muir on Hammond organ.

Tickets $25 each or four tickets for $80

Nick Haywood, returned to Melbourne a couple of years ago, after many years with the Hobart Con Jazz Studies Course and is still one of the most in demand bassists and educators on the Australian music scene. He is a top Jazz musician, a classic joke teller, and a wonderful Paella cook.

Dan Sulzberger began playing Jazz saxophone and piano at 11 years of age. He studied at both Queensland and UTAS Conservatorium’s completing his Bachelor of Music in 2006. His infectious sunny presence has touched and inspired many people awarding him The Jack Duffy Memorial Trophy for dedication and contribution to the Tasmanian Jazz scene in 2010.

Konrad Park needs little introduction to the Jazzamanca audience. A powerhouse drummer, who after thousands of hours listening to the Jazz greats, has developed into something more than just a drummer. He’s a musician – and a damn good one!

This could be the start of Somethin’ Else
