FRIDAY 7.00pm Gian Slater and Jamie Oehlers - The Differences
Two of Australia’s most recognised and awarded jazz talents, vocalist Gian Slater and saxophonist Jamie Oehlers, have been collaborating on various projects over the past 5 years.

This is a sublime album that combines their unique talents; Gian’s hauntingly beautiful, original and sometimes minimalistic voice and Jamie’s firebrand intensity and virtuosity. Tonight Gian and Jamie will present music from this CD, as well as some new material that will be sure to please. Click here for tickets

‘Ladies Who Lead’ is a series of gigs dedicated to female vocalists that stand out front of an all-male band and together they get the dance floor grooving.

SUNDAY 5.30pm Hills Big Band
Swing doesn’t entirely describe the Hills Big Band (www.hillsbigband.com.au ). Sure they do the Basie and sometimes the Miller. And yes they do have two great vocalists to do the Sinatra and the Billie Holiday. The kicker is in the arrangements; with maestro Kieran Hurley at the helm, they have scoured the planet for the hip. Leaving no stone unturned, they bring you arrangements of numbers by the likes of Chick Corea, Charlie Mingus, Horace Silver, and Brian Setzer. From their humble beginnings in the far flung reaches of the Perth Hills, this band has advanced pretty rapidly, last year filling the Midland town hall and featuring in the at the Northbridge Sunday Piazza Live series.

SUNDAY 8.30pm Charmaine Jones and Mike Bevan
'From the first notes on the duo's debut album, a faster than usual, superbly scatted version of Noel Coward's Mad About the Boy, it's obvious we are close to virtuoso territory.' – The Australian. Captivating performances to sold-out audiences, an extraordinary musical prowess and an extended repertoire suggest a longstanding partnership, yet this enthralling pair have only been playing as a duo since late 2011. Vocalist Charmaine Jones and guitarist Mike Bevan released their debut album, A Small Hotel, in January 2012 to significant critical acclaim. Their second album Still in February 2013 did not disappoint, launched to a full house at one of Adelaide’s premier music venues and a 4 star review in The Australian. Jones and Bevan are indeed making their mark on the Australian jazz scene. The duo’s synergy comes from mutual respect and a deep love of jazz, the blues & Brazilian music. Offering an original take on jazz standards and singular arrangements of an eclectic range of enigmatic tunes, their music exudes a sensitivity and zest that does justice to its inspirations; Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass, Diane Reeves and Russel Malone, Astrud Gilberto and Tom Jobim.
