JAZZ & DINE ON PHILLIP<br />
ISLAND<br />
TRIBUTES<br />
Vale Jane La Scala<br />
Doug will long be remembered at Phillip<br />
Island Jazz for the important part he played<br />
in saving the Annual Festival. Along with<br />
the late Maurie Fabrikant and the Jolly<br />
Rollers Group he was prepared to play for a<br />
dozen bottles of red. He played Friday<br />
night, all day Saturday and Saturday<br />
evening and likewise on Sunday, a<br />
herculean performance by any standards.<br />
Doug continued to support the Phillip<br />
Island Festival for a number of years.<br />
Doug’s happy disposition coupled with his<br />
outstanding musical skills endeared him to<br />
the jazz family both local and interstate.<br />

The committee members of the Victorian<br />
Jazz Club were very saddened to learn of<br />
the passing of Jane La Scala – former<br />
committee member and former editor of<br />
Jazzbeat.<br />
Jane has battled illness for some years, and<br />
was a very elegant, talented and courageous<br />
lady. Her partner Graeme Huntingdon has<br />
been by her side through those difficult<br />
times, and he has our sympathy and<br />
admiration. Condolences are extended to<br />
Jane’s family – she will be sadly missed in<br />
so many areas – especially that of Jazz<br />
appreciation.<br />
