Considered the “down under jazz all-star team,” the Australian Jazz Connection makes their US debut on the Central Coast October 25th-27th. It’s kind of like Louis Armstrong & His All-Stars, with leader Paul Ingle providing a kangaroo twist on trombone. This is the first time this band has played together and it should be an impactful event. Their debut performance is Friday at 12:40pm in the Addie Street Tent. You will want to say you were there. The group also has a set dedicated to Australian Jazz, something that started around WWI & flourished during WWII. It is a different form of jazz, one that calls forth bush and outback tunes. This is one of the first acts to export this sound to the US. Because they are all stars, this makes for a great show. For this unique “Aussie Jazz” set they are joined by Fellow Aussie, now best alto sax in NYC, Professor Adrain Cunningham.. This should be a resounding boomerang reunion...like kangaroo to joey: Vegemite sandwiches optional. So make sure to see to The Australian Jazz Connection, this is a rare treat combining stellar musicians with a new sound, debuting on the Central Coast.
