25.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW....??? Initially jazz was termed 'jasm' and became more common around the 1920s when many artists were favoring its hybrid, improvisational sound - which was back then a combination of marching band music, blues and ragtime music! :D

14.01.2022 What a weekend we have had in Melbourne .. The soft drizzle of rain yesterday and today a splendid day of sunshine!! Now for some jazz to really make us smile

11.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? A jazz performance is full of secret hand and body signals. With so many things happening on stage, jazz musicians communicate with each other non-verbally. They usually cue the end of their solos with nods, or they may end of the piece by pointing their fingers at their heads (meaning it’s time to play the head the main theme or original melody of a song). ... Secret sign language... who knew?!!

This multi-Grammy award winning star has produced over 30 albums, and also sings in English, French and Italian! Now that's talent

08.01.2022 Leaving the best to last this weekend ... Rightfully dubbed the Queen of Jazz, winning 13 Grammy awards and selling over 30 million albums worldwide, Ella Fitzgerald will always be remembered "Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong." ...

07.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW....?? Louis Armstrong played the trumpet so often he developed callouses on his lips which he would shave off with a razor!! Louis celebrated his birthday on the wrong date his entire life. ... His true birthday of 4th August was proven years after his death in 1971. Louis' career spanned five decades!!

07.01.2022 Let's enjoy some fun jazz!!!

06.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW...??? The jazz ballad 'Cry Me A River' was originally written for Ella Fitzgerald to sing for a movie but was dropped at the last minute. In 1955, Julie London recorded the song under the guidance of her future husband jazz musician Bobby Troup and it launched her career as a jazz singer. Ella later recorded the song in 1961....
