Wonderful night of great jazz last night. This band never fails to impress, with a lovely variety of jazz numbers that we often don't hear. Led by Matt Dixon on trombone and viocals, with Michael Hanley on guitar, banjo and vocals, Adrian DeFanti on reeds, Stephanie Bell on bass, Miles Izzo on trumpet and Gideon Marcus on drums . So much music to enjoy! Thanks Shirazz!

Such a wonderful band last night at Clayton RSL. Smithy's Harlem Swings had the audience enthralled, and they were so good to dance to. Led by the inimitable Ian smith on cornet asnd vocals, with Chris Ludowyk on trombone an vocals, Cal Duffy's brilliant drumming, Dave Allardice on piano, Richard Mander on bass, Shane Ryall on guitar all capped with the talented Paul Furniss on clarinet and sax. We were so lucky to have Paul, a legend of Australian jazz, on stage! Tha music was fantastic. Then, we were fortunate to have Deb Lavelle sit in with some lovely vocals and Peter McKay took over the piano for a while. Such a treat to have this band play for us - thanks guys for a truly lovely night!
