Jazz Uncovered returns for its second year, with a range of great Canberra jazz bands mixed with visitors to spice up the mix. Keep an eye on this site as we come closer to the event.
Our feature this year is the Hauptmann siblings. They are genuine Canberra products who are now in the top echelon of the Sydney and Melbourne jazz scenes. See and hear Zoe's quirky, roots-crossover Buttercups and the three Hauptmanns performing tracks from their new album as the family trio. And some of the most awarded performers in Australia: current Freedman Jazz Scholarship holder and winner and runner up of the 2009 National Jazz Award for guitar.
Come early for a very big day of excellent and inspiring music. Expect a range of musics, not just opaque
instrumentals. There's a large ensemble of ~17 players, several singers, trios to sextets and septets, organ outfits, latin and funk
and even circus music. A range of different styles for a day of intelligent exploration and joy. Players come from the ANU Jazz
Faculty (Eric Ajaye, John Mackey, Matt Thompson, Mark Sutton, James Luke...), our best local professionals (Dirk Zeylmans, Aron Lyon,
Luke Sweeting, Chris Thwaite...), visitors (Jonathon Zwartz, Matt McMahon) and many more.
Food and drinks are available in the club at very reasonable prices, so make a day of it. We've kept the price down to a
miniscule $35 ($25 concession). What better deal can you find? At these prices, you can just drop in for a few hours. Support
inventive music in Canberra. Be there! And very many thanks to the ACT Govt's Festival Fund for its support. Also to ArtSound
who are great supporters of jazz and culture in Canberra. Much appreciated!
PERFORMERS - We welcome your expressions on interest to perform at JU2010. It's a paying gig. We are seeking a broad range of inventive modern jazz in varied formats, large or small ensembles, even solo artists if you have something special to offer. We are hoping for original compositions, special performances like replaying renowned albums, retrospectives of famous performers, cross-genre styles like NuJazz, jazz-poetry, breakbeats. We have a definite preference for original compositions, so get your pencils and manuscript paper to work and get in touch.
