Shirazz
Sunday 22nd May, '22
"Playing the hottest trad jazz this side of New Orleans, Shirazz is one of Melbourne's most sought-after jazz bands. They meld raucous, high-energy trad, laid-back Louisiana street beats, and sleazy and salacious blues in their witty and irreverent live show. Shirazz's music is born in the New Orleans tradition but they are no means bound by it. Shirazz extends the genre to inject humour, original compositions, novel rearrangement of pop hits, European folk influences, and their own larrikin style to create a unique and exciting sound: a jazz flavour like no other."

Flint's New Old New Orleans Jazz Band
Sunday 26th June, '22
Born at the Australian Jazz Convention, the N.O.N.O. Jazz Band plays high-energy trad Jazz with a repertoire inspired by early Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, and other original New Orleans musicians.
Lindsay Flint - Clarinet
Don Mayne - Trumpet
Paul Van Der Koogh - Tenor Sax
Willie Purcell - Banjo
Robert Wood - Drums
Phill Jenkins - Tuba
Sunday 17th July, '22
Two Swingin’ Pitches features two of Melbourne’s favourite jazz singers: Pippa Wilson (whose style was once described as “champagne cut with bitters”) and Anita Harris (called “delightfully creamy” by one journalist who also noted “she swings ably and effortlessly”). The ladies only join forces a couple of times a year, and have some fun with great standards and swinging duets. The line-up also boasts the incomparable Ron Anderson on the frontline, with flute and saxes a-plenty, the talented Kim Harris on piano, David Taylor skillfully laying down the groove on double bass and the brilliant Tin Man, Alan Richards on drums. It’s occasionally chaotic, but always entertaining.
