“Earthy and soulful…richly melodic, with just the right balance of familiarity and surprise” Steve Robertson, Fleurieu FM Radio Host
“Sizzling-hot rendition of Bill Evan’s obscure gem “Funkallero” - high charged emotional density, without ever turning into melodrama” Nikolas Fotakis, editor AustralianJazz.net

This tight and versatile jazz outfit will present flavours from world music, Brasilian sambas and bossas, original arrangements of well-loved jazz and pop standards.
Presented by: Adelaide Jazz Club
The Adelaide Jazz Club is a pop-up collaboration between a group of friends who love to promote Jazz. Founded in 2017 by Mark Keough after visiting the Brisbane Jazz Club, it seeks to promote, educate and keep alive popular and easy-listening Jazz. One day we hope to have our own venue for the education, development and presentation of all forms of Jazz.
