Canberra Jazz Club Newsletter Aug – Sep 2013 6What’s been happening (...continued)OUR JUNE ‘JAZZ AT JAMISON’ GIG WAS GREAT!Once again, it’s a big thank-you to Club member and musician, David Lole. David bought us theterrific ‘Vintage Quine’ in April and he followed that up with a superb presentation from‘Swing’n’Jazz’ in June.This seven-piece band was a mixof David’s very popular festivalband, the David Lole Syncopaths;his Merimbula Jazz Festival band,Swing’n’Jazz; and our local musiciansTony Thomas and Jim Lole.Playing on the day was Reg Packer(banjo), Alan Richards(drums), Don Blainey (tuba), BillBeasley (trombone, vocals), TonyThomas (trumpet, vocals), JimLole (sax) and David Lole (piano).There was around 70 of us there and most did lunch,much to the appreciation of the new Club manager whowas very impressed with the turnout. We were, again, avery enthusiastic crowd (including some youngsters visitingthe Club!) which the band greatly appreciated.Further thanks are in order to Myrene for the great raffleprizes and to all our members who, as usual, gaveso generously for the raffle. Many thanks, too, to theLole families who graciously billeted the interstate musicians during their stay in Canberra.LOOK OUT FOR AN EXTRA ‘JAZZ AT JAMISON’ GIG IN NOVEMBERWe are pleased to announce an unexpected, but welcome, ‘Jazz at Jamison’ gig for Sunday 10 November.In appreciation of all our new members, your Committee has decided to squeeze in another live jazz event beforeyear’s end. Jim Lole has kindly offered to organise a trad jazz afternoon for us and we’ll have details nextnewsletter.Meanwhile, a word from your Committee. Firstly, thanks to the ongoing support of our sponsor, theCanberra Southern Cross Club, we’ve managed to organise 6 paying gigs at Southern Cross Club, Jamison forthis year. The 3 gigs held to date have all been very well attended, for which we sincerely thank our members– our Club couldn’t exist without you – but we do need this to continue.We mentioned in a recent email to members that Southern Cross Club Jamison was reviewing it’s entertainmentprogram in light of poor attendances at many of the Sunday gigs (not ours). Great news!! New manager,Brian Dobson, is prepared to continue supporting the Canberra Jazz Club gigs for at least the next year.The reason for that support, however, is the fact we bring in such good crowds and a lot of us also havelunch while we are there. It goes without saying that if our good attendance record was to slip, the Jamisonclub may well have to pull it’s financial support for our future gigs – this would severely limit the capacity ofyour Committee to bring you the very full calendar of events which we all currently enjoy. So, please, keep upthe good work and help us to keep the jazz we like alive in Canberra.
