It's a week of threes - we're turning 3, it's a 3 day weekend and we invite you to celebrate with us this weekend with 3 special birthday shows. Ellington co-owner BK is hosting his personal birthday bash on Thursday with Empire and new shows this week from Phil Hatton and the Madhattons and a celebration of the music of Whitney Houston with Amanda Dee (3 shows).
MONDAY 7.00pm Chamber Jam
A night of chamber music in Perth like no other. Join some of Australia’s leading musicians in three outstanding ensembles performing in one of Perth’s most intimate live music venues. Michael Howell is widely regarded as one of Perth's most talented flautists. For this, his first appearance at Chamber Jam, he has teamed up with three of Perth's leading jazz and rhythm section musicians: the phenomenally talented Fisenden brothers (Andy on drums, and Simon on bass) and Ellington Jazz Club owner, Graham Wood on the grand piano. ISQ is the 'contemporary' version of the Imperial String Quartet. The quartet, comprising some of Perth leading string players, all of whom play in the new Perth Symphony Orchestra, come together to use the string quartet line-up to play music they love, regardless of genre. Adam Pinto performs regularly as a soloist, chamber musician, and with the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra. He has also been recorded for broadcast by the A.B.C. He has performed at many International Arts Festivals, including the Perth International Arts Festival, The Totally Huge New Music Festival, The Government House Ballroom series, and The Port Fairy Spring Classical Music Festival.

TUESDAY 8.00pm Dale Boaden Trio
The Dale Boaden Trio is a modern, interactive, unique jazz band on the Perth music scene. Performing mainly original music composed my Dale, this group combines the musical personalities of all members to create a bold, energetic sound.

WEDNESDAY 8.00pm Phil Hatton and the Madhattons
Phil Hatton is a Perth native and was a member of many Perth bands including the Magic Dream Big Band, Nooky Hot Six, Swan City Jazzmen, Fine and Dandy (leader), Downbeat and The Accord before heading to the USA in 1995. He has recently returned to Australia after spending 12 years working as a professional musician and music teacher in the USA where he was a featured artist at over 50 jazz festivals. The Madhattons is the Perth version of the band he lead in the USA, featuring some of Perth’s finest: Kim Anning on guitar; Benn Hodgkin on trumpet; Rob Hyner on piano; Dave Gryl on drums and Mal Mah on bass. The band plays an eclectic mix of jazz featuring, but not exclusively, the rarely heard sound combo of clarinet and guitar in the front line, inspired by the sounds of the Benny Goodman sextet. Other inspirations are the West Coast sounds of the 1950’s as typified by the Dave Pell Octet and the Bebop sounds of Clifford Brown, Zoot Sims, Stan Getz, Horace Silver, etc. Also expect to hear some more contemporary sounds.

THURSDAY 8.00pm BK's Birthday Bash featuring Empire

Empire's performance brings top quality musicianship to mainstream audiences whilst revamping mainstream music for the more accomplished listener who appreciates talent and skill.

FRIDAY 11.30pm A celebration of the music of Whitney Houston with Amanda Dee

Her awards include two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards, among a total of 415 career awards in her lifetime. Houston was also one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide. Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits ("Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know", "Greatest Love of All", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "Didn't We Almost Have It All", "So Emotional" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"). Amanda Dee is a Whitney Houston disciple who cites her as the main reason she started to sing professionally. Joined by an all star band, this show will be a special celebration of a very special artist who sadly left us well before her time. Click here for tickets
