Canberra Jazz Club

SWING! SWING! SWING! 

Rhythm Capital is Canberra’s hottest swing band featuring jazz from the golden age of swing music and beyond. Band leader and reeds player, Justin Buckingham, has assembled what he calls the Capital’s “swingingest” musicians playing standards from the greats such as Louis Armstrong, Artie Shaw, Chick Webb, Count Basie, to name a few.

This 7-piece band has a huge following in Canberra, playing to rave reviews, and any appearance by the band at ‘Jazz at Jamison’ is eagerly awaited! Perfect for those who love to dance but also for those who just love to sit back and tap those toes.

Rhythm Capital on this occasion will feature Justin Buckingham on sax, clarinet and vocals, Zach Raffan on trumpet, Luke Davis on trombone, Greg Stott on guitar, Damien Slingsby on keyboard, Phil Dick on bass and Steve Richards on drums.

To quote Louis Armstrong, “everyone needs some jazz I say”. Don’t miss what will be another unforgettable afternoon of live jazz at ‘Jazz at Jamison’!

Dear CJC members

Please find your latest newsletter attached.

In this issue, of note:-

• We announce that the AGM saw a new President elected, Andrew Gleeson, and Evelyn Foster re-joined the Committee as Vice-President. We thank retiring President John Madden.
• Membership renewals are now overdue.
• VALE long-term life member Phil O’Rourke.
• The member’s Christmas Party luncheon is not far off and bookings are now open. As expected, the CSCC has advised of increasing catering costs which means an increase to the price of their Christmas seniors’ menu. Although we continue to subsidise the cost to members, we must, unfortunately, raise the price this year.

Yours in Jazz,

Linda Wiese

CJC Secretary/Editor
