20.01.2022 A LIFE FILLED WITH A LOVE OF JAZZ DON BURROWS Last night an era in Australian music ended, when jazz icon and Australian living treasure Don Burrows passed away peacefully at the age of 91. He touched so many lives and inspired generations of musicians and audiences alike, with his unbridled passion and a determination to spread the joy he felt when playing the music he loved so much.... Like many others, I was privileged to have him as a mentor and dear friend. I will always carry with me the way he looked when he played a smile that said he was doing what he loved and a glint in his eye that meant he couldn’t believe his luck to be a jazz musician. He had many great sayings but one struck me the most You’re only as good as the company you keep, and in his company, I’ve been my best. Don achieved so many things and received so many accolades - but I know the only thing that really mattered to him was to pass on his gift and leave the world a little bit better placerest easy mate, job done. Service arrangements will be announced at a later date. We are grateful for your thoughts and prayers during this time, and respectfully request that any inquiries be directed to [email protected]
20.01.2022 Today we pause to reflect and say a simple ‘Thank you for your service’. Lest We Forget #musicformateship #AnzacDay2020 ... Video by VideoLive
20.01.2022 *** DON BURROWS MEMORIAL*** To all those waiting to hear an announcement of when we can get together to remember and celebrate Don’s life:- Under the current ci...rcumstances it is impossible to hold an official gathering for this purpose. If we announced a time and place we have no way of knowing how many people will come - but it would certainly be more than the 100 allowed. Alternatively if we just invite ‘close’ friends, there are still well more than a 100 and we don’t feel it is our place to decide who can’t come. So with a heavy heart we have to delay this until restrictions are lifted...however long that takes. In the meantime, I am listening to some of Don’s music each day and being thankful that I was one of those friends Look after yourselves and those around you ABC Jazz ABC Sydney ABC News ABC Australia Don Burrows

10.01.2022 At 6am on ANZAC Day musicians everywhere are being called on to take to their front yards to play the Last Post. A grassroots campaign for Australians to commemorate Anzac Day at dawn in their driveways is gathering momentum across the country. With traditional services and marches cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, RSL branches in every state have unanimously endorsed the gesture, with families across the nation expected to stand at their gates, on balconies or ver...andahs at 6am on Saturday April 25. Please join us and the rest of Australia in this special moment to remember all those who have served and sacrificed for this nation. We may not be able to stand together as we usually would, but we can still stand united in spirit. Anyone interested should download the sheet music, start practising and notify their neighbourhood via a letterbox drop. http://musicformateship.org/ #MusicforMateship #ANZACDAY #drivewaytribute #lastpost #Minutesilence #COVID19 #isolatedbutunited

04.01.2022 So many venues are closed right around the world - clubs, theatres, concert halls... and one of my favourites is just down the road from where I’m sitting in isolation, the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre in Mount Gambier, South Australia. I was lucky enough to be able to get in there the other day, just for a few minutes to play in a big room again...of course with no audience...well, not in the room anyway. What to play when you only have time for one song? A jazz standard? (I... always like them) a blues? (that’s appropriate at the moment) something funky? With all of us affected by the same thing, all dealing with the effects on our lives, I feel like we have a special kind of unity at the moment, a one-ness that often eludes us in our normal lives, an inclusiveness that seems to have made us all pause to consider everyone else, I feel like there’s a song that captures this feeling for Australians... I trust we’ll all be back hearing live music soon, until then I hope you enjoy this short rendition of an Aussie classic.
