12.01.2022 John Morrison & Jacki Cooper Modern Jazz Saturday 11th January from 7 10pm Over the course of a decade, this musical duo have made their mark on the Australian jazz scene not only for their musical exploits, but also for their determination for all children in Australia to be exposed to music education. John and Jacki travel around Australia visiting schools and presenting their Make it Swing workshops. As well as visiting schools with established band and choir p...rograms, they also spend time in schools with little or no music program in the hopes that the schools will be inspired to make music part of the curriculum. Besides their educational adventures, John and Jacki are regular performers at festivals and jazz clubs around the country with their Sydney Jazz Band and with John’s Sydney Big Band, Swing City. Sharing a love of big band music, they started a big band festival, Big Band Blast in 2013 in Port Macquarie NSW. The weekend is held on the last weekend in May annually. Bookings for tomorrow night Phone/text 0419 658983 or 040289500 Admission $20/$25

Andrea’s professional singing career took flight after completing a Performing Arts degree at the University of Western Sydney. With her one-woman show, inspired by the great Mae West, she also gained acclaim as a traveling performer. On the road throughout the late 1990s, Andrea’s songbook repertoire took her ...to 5 star venues all over Australia. While discovering a love for jazz singing in the style of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington Andrea was developing her three-octave range. Always an entertainer pushing creative boundaries and expanding her craft, Andrea spent the past decade performing variously as a cabaret artist and event host. Her stand-up comedy gives us her alter-ego, psychic, Ms Zandria Seesalot. With her amazing range and tonal quality, Andrea can and does sing anything from blues to ballads, from big show numbers to stirring soul, and from swinging jazz to classic.

03.01.2022 Ian Cooper is Australia’s most exciting virtuoso violinist. He is a regular attraction at concert venues and festivals throughout Australia, Europe, Japan and New Zealand, and his dynamic and humorous show draws on many musical styles from The Classics, Jazz, Gypsy, Latin, Irish, the Blues and even a touch of Cowboy music. Ian Cooper is appearing Monday 15 March at 7.00pm and will be accompanied by Dave Spicer on piano, John Conley on Bass, and Rod Ford on Drums. After meetin...g the French violinist Stephane Grappelli Ian swung his attention towards Jazz, and his fiery approach to the Devil’s Instrument became reminiscent of the music of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. Today Cooper continues to perform classical concerts as a soloist with orchestras and is equally at home playing Jazz concerts around Australia, Europe and Asia. Ian is a regular guest artist of Australian Jazz trumpeter James Morrison, and has appeared at home and abroad with international artists including George Benson, Neil Sedaka, Max Bygraves, Andrea Bocelli, David Helfgott, Tommy Emmanuel, Barry White, John Farnham, Marcia Hines, Deni Hines, Melinda Schneider and Olivia Newton-John.
