Jazz Sessions at The Rocks
Get down to The Rocks Square on Thursday nights to catch some of Sydney's best jazz musicians while sipping on gin-infused cocktails.
Overview
The Rocks' free live jazz sessions have become so popular they're back for an extended season. Get down to The Rocks Square any Thursday night between April 3 and September 25, and you'll be kicking back to the sounds of some of Sydney's best jazz acts — while sipping on gin cocktails.
Launching the season on April 3 is trumpeter and recent Sydney Conservatorium graduate Bernice Tesara and her trio. Then, on April 10, catch guitarist Aaron Flower — winner of the 2007 National Jazz Award — alongside vocalist Kate Wadey. They'll be dueting on a range of jazz standards, plus songs from their upcoming album.
Hickson House Distillery will be onsite serving creative gin-based cocktails, made from spirits brewed onsite at its stunning headquarters just up the road. Try a Hickson House Classic Dry, made with classic London tonic and garnished with lemon, olive and marjoram, or an Australian Dry, made features pink citrus tonic, finger lime, pink grapefruit and fresh basil.
Rain or shine, you can take a seat from 6pm every week, with the first set starting at 6.30pm and the second at 7.30pm. If it does happen to be a wet evening, you'll find everyone at 6-8 Atherden Street, a short stroll from The Rocks Square.
