The Divine Miss Smith and the polytonal Jason Chalmers did not disappoint. This week, Susie returns to the fray, after a protracted break, and the usual crew will be there in support.
Susie with the Captain Chaos Quartet, The Royal Standard Hotel, 333 William St, 7.00pm to 9.30pm, Friday 23rd June 2017
Stick to the black notes, they’re cheaper…
Last week saw a piping hot set from Joys Njambi, and this week we are featuring the late Miss Smith, and Jason Chalmers on sax: should be good!
Annie Smith with the Captain Chaos Quartet, The Royal Standard Hotel, 333 William St, 7.00pm to 9.30pm, Friday 16th June 2017
Miss Joys will be singing this Friday, with Kip Dale on bass, Michelle Morrison on drums and meself on drugs. As we haven’t played together for quite a while (Ms Njambi keeps jetting off for lush gigs in Bali or something) , this should prove an interesting evening, as a pre cursor to the Festival.
Toodlepip!

The Alliance Française de Melbourne and St Kilda Jazz are delighted to invite you to a new concert series for 2017: Jazzy Jeudi.
Throughout the year, Jazzy Jeudi (meaning ‘Jazzy Thursday’ in French) will feature various jazz performers once a month on a Thursday evening, often incorporating a component of French language or a repertoire of French music. The performances will be held in the intimate concert space in the basement salon of the Alliance Française. The first concert for the year will be held on the 20th of April with The New Impromptu Quartet performing with Les Gyori on violin.
We look forward to seeing you on the 20th!

The Royal Standard Hotel: Annie Smith
Singing this Friday at the Royal Standard Hotel, quite possibly starting at 7.00pm, and with all her charts organised. If you wish to see this rare phenomenon, do drop in. Luis (saxophone) will be playing the entire night in Spanish, Eija will be keeping us in order on bass, Bill Swannie will be playing some ace bossa, and I will be silly as a wheel at the keys.

Singing this Friday at the Royal Standard Hotel.
Last week, Nadira absolutely wore us (Dave Taylor, Greg Appleton, “Twang” Stewart and meself) out, flying around the playlist like a lunatic, but, hell, it was fun.
This Friday, Joys Njambi is back, with another set of old and new toons: probably the most experienced of the singers to have done the RSH thing, and a lot of fun… if she remembers her microphone. And a lot of fun if she doesn’t…singing anything from Bessie Smith to George Michael.
Kip Dale (bass), Michelle Morrison (drums), meself and Captain Sensible (saxophone) will be making up the orchestra.

Friday Night Live with the songstress from the Ho
Nadira Farid (Hobart) is coming to town for this Friday’s session, supported by David Taylor (bass), Greg Appleton (drums), myself (piano), and Ben Stewart on guitar.
Expect an evening of swing tunes done with Nadira’s trademark panache – quite what the locals will make of such a stylish singer remains to be seen, but if enthusiasm is infectious, we will all catch something. See ya there!

Nadira Farid, singing this Friday
Last week, Katerina Myskova and her Inverloch bound quartet (with Kip Dale sitting in for Doug Kuhn) aced a set and left a hotel heaving. Very satisfying.
This week, Frank has gone for the green beer for St Patrick’s Day, so no Captain Chaos. We will be back next week with Nadira Farid (Hobart) breezing in for an evening with the lads – meself, David Taylor (double Bass), Greg Appleton (drums) and the eponymous Captain.
