Melbourne International Jazz Festival Summer Sessions
Summertime and the living is easy.
Overview
The Melbourne International Jazz Festival proper doesn’t kick off until June, but after the success of last year they’ve announced a six-night series of intimate, one-off gigs in late January at iconic inner-city venue Bennetts Lane Jazz Club.
The Summer Series showcases the talents of some of our finest jazz pianists, such as virtuouso Australian player and composer Paul Grabowsky and Hue Blanes, who’s returning home after two years studying and performing in Miami. While Grabowsky is practically a national institution after founding and leading the Australian Art Orchestra, Blanes is perhaps best known for his work with bands like The Bamboos and The Melodics.
There’s also a retrospective that will delight real jazz aficionados; a recreation and celebration of John Coltrane’s seminal album A Love Supreme to mark 50 years since its release.
