505 International Jazz Festival 2013
One of Sydney's premiere jazz venues cranks into overdrive.
Overview
Jazz music, perhaps more than any other genre of music, is a distinctly unruly beast. While the boundaries of musical genres are forever moulded and mashed by the whims of individual artists, no other genre has so reliably defied expectations and sent minds spinning into the musical unknown as jazz.
With the 505 International Jazz Festival rolling into town on Monday, May 20, there is no better time to get your teeth stuck into jazz music's sonic unruliness. And as would be expected from Sydney's premiere jazz club, picking a favourite act is a bit like picking a favourite child. There is the jazz-rock-hip-hop fusion of Kneebody; Sting and Pat Metheny's Grammy Award-wining bass buddy Christian McBride; underground sax legends Tony Malaby and Dave Ades; and genre-hopping, multi-instrumentalist Nate Wood.
With tickets starting from as little as $10, the two-week festival will be a unique opportunity to experience some of the world's finest jazz musicians.
