Jazzgroove Summer Festival
An epic weekend of live, original and seriously good improvised music in Surry Hills.
Overview
In 1998, a bunch of musicians got together with a plan to give the Sydney live music scene a sorely needed boost. The emergent collective, Jazzgroove, is now one of the city’s most important organisers, supporters and promoters of independent artists.
Over the past fifteen years Jazzgroove has presented live improvised music on a weekly basis, started a record label that now has 62 CDs under its belt and established the prestigious JARA Award.
Twenty-two bands will be found jamming around Surry Hills next weekend as Jazzgroove hosts its fourth annual Summer Festival. There’ll be free concerts in Prince Alfred Park, a stunning opening night at Tom Mann Theatre, ticketed gigs at 505 and the Gaelic Club (featuring the likes of Elana Stone and Tom O’Halloran) and jam sessions kicking off at midnight. Parents can grab themselves a break by dropping their kids off at the free workshops for juniors.
