From Recent NEWSLETTERS Don’t forget that because of our tiny population, we can only survive as a jazz club if nearly EVERYONE attends our events.  Please check also that you have paid your 2006 subscription of $10 or $18 for two members at the same address. MIX ‘EM UP The year has been different because the Committee decided not to stick to the regular days, but to mix them up, seeking warmer weather for our events. We hope to have a few open air sessions this summer and I will let you know dates and bands asap. I would love to have one Sunday arvo in the park using the Band Rotunda and one of the Big Bands etc. It would be hard getting money in the open but at least we could be sure of our members paying, and the rest would be a good promotion for jazz in general & DJC. What do you think? Please let me have any suggestions.

DELORAINE JAZZ CLUB HISTORY   - by Geoff Woods 9/5/2003 (in brief) The club was formed after Geoff Woods put notices around the town to see how many might be interested. About 36 people met in the Dining Room of the Deloraine Hotel at 6.00pm Thursday July 8th 1999 to form the club. Elections resulted in  President Geoff Woods, Sec/Treas. Susan Barter, Vice Pres Kath Evans. Committee Ken Philpott, Bevan Badcock, Mal Greenop, Ngaire Greenop. This has been put together hastily to be able to hand in some records and/or copies of what we have been doing with/for jazz over the last 4 years for the JAZZ ARCHIVES of Tasmania. Some of our records are missing because we never intended to be a great accumulator of paperwork. When I look back I am struck by how much work has gone in to the newsletters and posters, and of how many we still have a copy. I have drawn up the list of bands etc as accurately as possible, but not all records remain. 1999 8th July First meeting in the Dining Room of the Deloraine Hotel. Officers elected and some music played on my large Sony 3 in 1. 12th Aug  Counter meals, CDs and tapes in the Dining Room on Sony. 16th Sep Our first LIVE artist, WAXXY PUFFLER, Lyell Wells, “Jazz and Swing Writers.” Lyell played and sang a prepared program beautifully in his very relaxed style, which everyone loved. This was also our first evening in the Catching Pen which the Green family had upgraded by $35,000. 30 & 31st Oct - DELORAINE JAZZ FESTIVAL which ran 2 days of the Long Weekend. We must have been mad to attempt it, during the Craft Fair, when we and most others were tired out from  other things we were running. However it ran beautifully and attracted full houses in the Catching Pen. THE CAKEWALKING BABIES played on the Saturday night 30th TE JAZZMANIANS played on the Sunday night. Ngaire Greenop sang about 3 numbers with the band and Chas Canden played harmonica with them 2 numbers. 11th November DELORAINE BIG BAND at the Catching Pen ………………………………………………….. 2000 10th Feb THE JAZZMANIANS at the Catching Pen 9th March ST JOES BIG BAND in the C Pen 13th April STEVE HILL JAZZ ENSEMBLE in C Pen … May DELORAINE BIG BAND 11th June Sunday Afternoon at the Catching Pen 14th June Bastille Day –CAKEWALKING BABIES at C Pen 10th August Talent Night YOUTH JAZZ AWARDS at C Pen 14th September VICTOR ZAPPENER QUARTET in C Pen 12th October Del Jazz Club in C Pen 10th Nov DELORAINE BIG BAND in C Pen 17th December DJC XMAS PARTY – Twilight Jazz in C Pen followed by Xmas Carols ……………………………………………………………. 2001 9th February THE DE SOTOS in the C Pen 9th March HOT FEET JAZZ COMBO IN the C Pen 8th April IAN PEARCE QUARTET for Sunday afternoon in the C Pen 11th May AGM followed by DELORAINE BIG BAND in C Pen June/July so cold we had a winter recess from the C Pen 19th August DJC YOUTH JAZZ AWARDS in the C Pen 21 September BRUNY ISLAND NEW ORLEANS JAZZ BAND in C Pen 30th September JAZZ IN THE GARDEN at GLENDALOUGH 19th October THE DE SOTOS in C Pen 11th November ORCHARD ROAD ……..orchard Road played 2 consec months – check dates 16th December DJC XMAS PARTY local musicians …………………………………………………………… 2002 20th January JAZZ IN THE GARDEN at GLENDALOUGH.

“I DON’T LIKE JAZZ”
How often do you hear someone say the above? And yet many TV adverts have jazz playing in the background, hotel lobbies frequently have jazz as their chosen music, many supermarkets and other shops use jazz for their speaker music, because they think it is the best music to put customers into a good frame of mind. Gala events outdoor and indoor often use jazz for their music. Jazz is a happy, easy to listen to, sparkling, entertaining sound and businesses know it. Many people have the wrong idea of “jazz”, but once they hear a little of it they’re happy with it.
