PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Greetings Jazz Club members,
Here we are a third of the way through the year, and so far all is going well with
the Club. Our first events for the year at the Jamison Southern Cross Club have
been very successful. The “Jugalug Stringband”, a new one for a lot of our
members, proved very popular and we plan to have them back next year.
Our second concert with the Black Mountain & Bridge City Jazz Band is always
popular and despite other events happening at the same time, we had our largest
ever attendance at Jamison. Due to circumstances, I was unable to attend the Jules
Boult concert at the Harmonie German Club, a joint event with the Canberra Blues
Society. By all reports, while attendance was low, people really enjoyed the
afternoon.
On Sunday the 10th of April we will welcome the Keira Jazz Band back to our Sundays at Jamison and we
are certain this will be another entertaining event for our Club members and also, too, the other people who
are not members of our Club but who are now attending Jamison as they gradually find the jazz we present a
good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Sadly we have said farewell to two of our members during the last month (see note below). Our sympathy
goes out to relatives and friends at this time. Another death which has come to our notice is that of Viv
Carter, known to a lot of us both as a musician and someone who supported both the Convention and lots of
festivals including our own St Valentines festivals. His conversation was always interesting, especially if
you could get him to talk about circuses. One of the characters of the jazz scene who will be greatly missed.
I look forward to seeing you all at the events we have planned for the remainder of the year.
Cheers for now,
Margaret

Vale members Pat Abbot & Daphne Broers-Freeman & others.
For those members not previously advised via email, we sadly advise of the passing of 2 gracious ladies in
recent weeks. Pat Abbot was a CJC member and Phone Tree volunteer for many years and a great supporter
of the CJC. Daphne Broers-Freeman was a more recent member and together with husband Tom, always
attended events when their health allowed, particularly our bus trips. Our thoughts go to member Ray Louis,
Pat’s companion of many years, and to Tom Broers who has lost his “guardian angel”.
Further afield, one of the more colourful characters on the jazz scene, Murrarundi drummer Viv Carter,
passed away on 24 March, aged 80. Viv often played with Sydney’s Bridge City Jazz Band and the band’s
blog spot refers to Viv as “a ‘mountain man’ for sure”.
Hugh (Hughie) De Rosayro (1939 - 2016). Melbourne trombonist Hughie Rosayro migrated to Australia
from Ceylon in 1965. He played with the Yarra Yarra Jazz Band for many years and was leader of the popular Niteowls. He accompanied Geoff Bull to Japan on several tours.
Jeffrey (Jeff) Hawes (1937 -2016). Another successful trombonist, Jeff started playing jazz in Melbourne at
age 18 and eventually moved to Sydney where he became a founder-member of Noel Crow's Jazzmen.

UPCOMING CJC FUNCTIONS
Sunday 10 April – we saw them back in 2013 and they drew one of our largest crowds at Jamison! The
Keira Jazz Band is back for what promises to be another afternoon of great trad jazz. Many thanks to Jim
Lole for organising this return appearance for us. Featuring band leader Tony Madden on tuba, Jim Lole
on alto sax, Tony Thomas on trumpet, Jim Styles on banjo & Ian Hill on drums. Another great line-up of
musicians for your enjoyment!! Refer to page 4.
Sunday 15 May – the annual Great Jazz Safari to the Southern Highlands with our friends from the Sydney & Illawarra jazz clubs. The Sydney Club is host this year and the SJC has decided to return to the Golf
Club at Mittagong. Details page 5.
Sunday 26 June – it’s back to Southern Cross Club Jamison for an afternoon of great piano. This piano gig
is so popular around town we couldn’t miss the opportunity for a return appearance at Jamison. Take 2
pianos and 4 piano players and they happen to be Wayne Kelly, John Black, Leo Joseph and Ali
Penney and you have a fantastic mix of jazz, swing and boogie. Check out page 6.
A Sunday in July? – possibly a Mystery Trip? This event is still a mystery as none of us has come up
with any ideas yet! Suggestions welcome!
Sunday 14 August – we are back at Southern Cross Jamison with member Ken Nosworthy and his great
quartet Dr Jawbone & the Restless Souls. Ken’s daughter Lorelle on vocals & sax adds a wonderful dimension to the band which was very well received on the last occasion they played for us.
Tuesday 16 August – CJC AGM.
Sunday 23 October – Southern Cross Jamison with our trad locals Tony Thomas, Ron Cook, Garry
Owen & Evan Smith. This was previously advertised for 16 Oct but Tony got a better offer for the day!
Sunday 13 November – our big band annual event will this year feature “ConneXion” playing for us at
the Harmonie German Club.
Sunday 4 December – CJC Christmas Party. MARK THIS DATE IN THE DIARY NOW!!
Galapagos Duck at Southern Cross Club, Woden
Thursday 21 July | 8pm
Galapagos Duck began in the late
1960's playing during a winter season
at the skiing resort “The Kosciusko
Chalet” at Charlottes Pass.
After such humble beginnings, the
band’s reputation steadily grew during the 1970's as the house band at
the emerging jazz night club “The
Basement” in Circular Quay which,
today, has become a Sydney icon.
The ‘Duck’ is now one of the best
known Jazz bands in Australia.
Although band members have changed over time, the direction of the band has always remained the same – to
create a jazz oriented performance experience that can be enjoyed by everybody. The current line-up is Will
Sargisson, piano; Willy Qua, sax; John Conley, bass; Richard Booth, reeds; Rodney Ford, drums.
“The Galapagos Duck of today is nothing less than a powerhouse”.
SHOW ONLY: $29 plus booking fee | Book at the Club or online via Ticketek

For lovers of trad jazz, this special band is a must see!!
Locals musicians Jim Lole on sax, Tony Thomas on trumpet and
Jim Styles on banjo, will be joined by ‘almost-local’ Ian Hill on drums
and from the Illawarra, band leader and tuba player, Tony Madden.
Another great line-up for your enjoyment!!!

The Great Jazz Safari to the Southern Highlands is
on again…

Highlands Golf Club, Mittagong
MITTAGONG
This annual get-together
with the Sydney &
Illawarra jazz clubs is a
highlight event on the
jazz calendar!
Yes, we are heading back to Mittagong. Host club Sydney prefers the Highlands Golf
Club for the larger menu choice and a less cramped space than our trial venue last
year at the Robertson Bowling Club. We will miss the great stage at Robertson but
the SJC is hoping to organise a portable stage so those of us at the back of the room
can see the band!
You can expect 3 hours of great jazz with the Al Davey Jazz Band
featuring Al Davey, trumpet & trombone; Peter Locke, keys; Graham
Hilgendorf, drums; Ben Jones, saxophone; and a bass player TBA.
Coach departs 9:00am from Canberra Southern Cross Club
Club,, Woden and
9:20am from Southwell Park (alongside Yowani Golf Club).
Coach will be leaving Mittagong at 4:00pm sharp.
Coach: $25, which includes a $5 entry fee. Friends welcome: $30.
You can meet us there if you like from around 11.30am but you must let us
know you will be there for catering & seating purposes.
The $5 entry fee payable at the door assists with band costs.
A variety of meals will be available for purchase.
Bookings close Sunday 8 May.
Call Linda on 6291 9345 (or email her if you prefer) to arrange for a booking and payment or you
can book & pay via Direct Deposit to the CJC bank account. We know some of our members prefer
to pay on the day so just let us know.

What’s been happening
Our first two gigs for Jazz at Jamison this year have attracted great crowds. Unfortunately, audience numbers
for the Jules Boult gig at the Harmonie German Club were less than expected and we sustained a small loss.
Firstly, though, the Jugalug Stringband in February was very interesting and most entertaining!
It was fun to hear and see their
collection of vintage and unique
instruments being played so
well and they have a wide range
of music in their repertoire.
Leader Stewart Binsted was suffering a broken wrist but he had
an able replacement in the form
of guitarist Tony Burkeys
(Stewart also plays the kazoo so
maybe his injury was a blessing
in disguise!). Stan Valacos on
bass had double-booked so
Dave Clayton stood in for him.
The Black Mountain & Bridge City Jazz Band drew our largest crowd yet at Jamison – some 120!
It was a great afternoon of trad
delivered by some great musos.
Trombonist Mike Hallam filled
in for John Bates who was on
holidays and it was great to see
Mike back in Canberra.
Band leader Dennis Quinlan sent
along an email on behalf of the
band and Mike Hallam thanking
the CJC for the gig and commenting “we enjoyed playing for
the Canberra JC yesterday...the
combination of the two groups
always makes a nice 7 piece jazz
band”.
Pianist and singer Jules Boult & the Capital Redeemers were very well received!
Our collaborative event with the
Canberra Blues Society at the
Harmonie German Club was held on
a particularly busy weekend in Canberra. It’s many thanks to the CJC
members who managed to support
the event.
It was a very polished and entertaining performance from Jules and his
supporting musicians from the now
disbanded Moochers Inc who were
very much on top of their game.
Whether you had a jazz or blues bent,
the music was toe-tapping from start
to finish. It was a great afternoon!
