Dear Jazz Lovers,
Next Thursday MAY 19, JMQ Jazz Ensemble shall feature widely admired singer, REBECCA BARNARD, along with fine saxophonist, TONY HICKS, at the welcoming Golden Gate Hotel, South Melbourne.
The name 'Barnard' is well-known in the Australian Music & Jazz scene, across three generations, and Rebecca grew up listening to an eclectic mix of music and exposed to the best. While Rebecca is best know for her stunning versatility as a songwriter, band-leader and singer, she also visits her Jazz roots and those great jazz standards that were a soundtrack to her youth.(*Her uncle, famous trumpeter Bob Barnard sadly died last week; her late father Len was a band leader and drummer; their mother and her grandmother, Kath, was Australia's first female big-band leader.)
Rebecca will perform with Tony Hicks and JMQ Jazz Ensemble of Michael Harding (piano), Tony Floyd (drums),Ben Robertson (bass), John Montesante (trumpet & flugel). Doors 6:30pm. Jazz 7pm.
Delicious meals & drinks served all evening. Tix $11 online: https://www.trybooking.com/BVNRI
