COMING EVENTS - 2012

We are still having difficulties finding the right venue to suit certain events and so will probably make a few changes while we experiment. For instance some more expensive bands require a bigger audience to cover the costs, etc. However some smaller venues offer a lovely jazz club lounge ambience which is OK if we do not need the big audience to pay for the music. Bear with us and we will do our best.

11th May Friday DELORAINE BIG BAND at the Little Theatre

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. Soon after this our Secretary who was in ill health was replaced by Patricia Woods who has been our Secretary until the AGM of 2009 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 for our files.

“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.
