Our leading vocalist, interpreter, trumpet player and composer has entertained and informed us for decades with his everevolving elite group of musicians. Vince Jones’ music includes original songs and beautiful contemporary versions of jazz standards. His themes are often love, injustice, peace and anti-greed. The heart of his work lies at the crossroads of Afro-American blues and the melodies of the Celtic folk tradition. The songs he chooses – written by him or by others – always make an original, personal statement. As in the best jazz and improvising styles, Vince Jones understands that the moment of creativity occurs at the point of execution as much as it does at the time of the original composition. He walks that line with finesse and respect. Since his career began more than 30 years ago, Vince Jones has released 14 albums to critical acclaim. Though never a mainstream artist, he has always been popular, demonstrated through album sales figures and audience numbers. He has toured extensively in Europe and the US and continues to play regularly to loyal fans around Australia. Vince Jones’ latest offering is Modern Folk, a compilation of songs recorded live on different stages around Australia, released through Vitamin Records. He records and tours with a band comprising musicians who are highly regarded in their own right, including Matt McMahon on piano, Simon Barker on drums and Ben Waples on bass. Steve Clisby Steve Clisby’s entire life has been a musical journey. At the age of six, the California-born singer was inspired by his mother’s record collection – the songs she listened to, he listened to. After deciding that making great music was what he was born to do, he taught himself piano, later taking lessons and also learning the saxophone. In the 1970s, Steve followed the Hendrix trail to Europe with friends – and there they stayed. Their group, American Gypsy, eventually made Holland their base and for two decades, they shared every stage in Europe with some of the greatest names in music. A record deal and release of the eponymous American Gypsy resulted in a string of hits, numerous television appearances and cemented their position as the African American soul voice in Europe. In his long and distinguished career he has collaborated with award-winning producer/writer, Narada Michael Walden (Madonna, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey) and Errol Brown (Hot Chocolate) with Groove Armada re-recording the track Inside Out as Whatever Whenever and Neneh Cherry recording Steve’s track Golden Ring on her album Man. His first three local albums were recorded live and captured the power and beauty of his memerising live performances. In 2013, millions of Australians embraced Steve’s journey and soulful voice when he made it through to the semi-finals of ‘The Voice.’ His performances of classic tracks including Walking in Memphis, Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Baby and Just the Two of Us had the judges alternating between dancing and tears. Steve’s current recording, Soul Story, was released in early 2013. Steve’s journey is one of the perseverance to never, ever give up and that’s what makes him one of the most exciting voices in Australia. A voice filled with decades of experience, heartache and beauty. A voice that truly lifts the soul. 16www.noosajazz.com.au Emma Pask Her talent was spotted by James Morrison during one of his regular visits to high schools when she was just 16. She first sang with his band that night and has been touring with Morrison around Australia and overseas, ever since. While Emma’s voice and style are unique, and individually her own, her performances are reminiscent of the classic era of jazz, when swing was top of the charts. By request, in 2006, Emma performed the Bridal Waltz for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s wedding, also performing through the evening with a swinging set of big band numbers with the Sydney All Star Big Band. Earlier that same year, Emma was awarded the Mo Award for “Jazz Vocalist of the year”. Emma has been a regular guest on national TV shows like Hey, Hey Its Saturday, the Midday Show, Good Morning Australia, the Today show, and has also sung to VIP audiences including the late Diana, Princess of Wales, Princess Mary of Denmark, and the Prime Minister of Australia. You’ll often hear Emma’s voice on numerous Television Commercials, movie soundtracks and voice over work. She has performed to audiences of up to 80,000 people, Sung in London at The Queen Elizabeth Hall with the BBC Concert Orchestra, In China with The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, In Auckland with the NZ Philharmonic, With Barbara Morrison, Don Burrows, Ed Wilson, Conductor Sean O’Boyle, With the WA Symphony Orchestra, Recorded with the BBC Big Band in London, Performed at the Phillips International Jazz Festival in Kuala Lumpur, At the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, In Cape Town S.A with the Darius Brubeck Trio, Toured her band ‘The Emma Pask Qunitet” through Laos and Singapore Performed in Rome Italy, And has preformed at the Sydney Opera House, guesting alongside James Morrison with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. ollowing the enormous success of her first 2 albums, “Emma” and “This Madness called Love”, Emma has released her third solo album, “Some other Spring”. Despite her achievements and the international recognition of her talent, Emma retains her natural, refreshing and unpretentious, positive approach to life. James Morrison says “Whilst it’s fashionable to be a jazz singer these days, she’s the real thing!” Grace Knight Grace Knight is one of the most enduring talents in Australian music. With Aria nominations and chart topping recordings in each of the past three decades, her career spans over thirty five years. Acclaimed for her live performances, Grace is one of the finest interpreters of popular music in Australia today. Knight’s spellbinding performances touch the soul and lift the heart. Her magical presence connects with audiences of all ages like few others can. She blew audiences away throughout the eighties as lead singer of internationally successful band Eurogliders. She captivated fans with her “Manic Ballerina” stage persona and Eurogliders took the charts by storm. As a solo artist she transformed herself from Pop Princess to Queen of Cool and lit up the screen in ABC TV’s award winning mini-series, Come In Spinner. Her most recent album, Willow, was nominated for an ARIA in 2008 and she has just finished recording her seventh solo album, Keep Cool Fool, which is scheduled for release in April 2012. Never one to slow down and rest on her laurels, Grace released her critically acclaimed autobiography, Pink Suit for a Blue Day in 2010. She is also an Ambassador for Heal For Life Foundation, and is a patron to the Choir Of Hope And Inspiration. www.noosajazz.com.au17 Australian Army Band Brisbane Known as one of the finest military bands in Australia, the Australian Army Band Brisbane provides music for regal, vice-regal, state and ceremonial occasions, performs at festivals, gives concerts and presents precision marching displays, as well as fulfilling its military role. Jan Preston Galapagos Duck Charles Darwin’s observations in the Galapagos Islands in 1835 were crucial to the development of his theory of natural selection explaining evolution… that only those best adapted to their environment, will survive. In 1969, a group of jazz musicians formed to play the winter season at The Kosciusko Ski Chalet in Charlottes Pass. They named this new band Galapagos Duck (in deference to a Spike Milligan sketch rather than our famed scientist). Along with trailblazers like the late, great Graeme Bell and then stars like Don Burrows, George Golla and the Morrison brothers, Galapagos Duck put Australian Jazz on the map.

Juzzie Smith Juzzie is a walking, talking, singing example of how it pays to follow your heart. Not that money is the point here - far from it. The real point is that Juzzie is one of those truly creative souls who makes a living out of doing something he absolutely loves. As a young father, tired of late nights on the pub circuit, Juzzie made a conscious decision to leave the pubs and take his music to the people and the streets. So he took up busking, mostly at local markets on the NSW north coast, drawing bigger and more enthusiastic crowds each time he played. In this way Juzzie created a reputation for himself, becoming a true grassroots phenomenon. He is now also a festival circuit favorite, loved for his energetic and aweinspiring live performances.

Coorparoo Secondary College Stage Band Carl Wockner Beaten Bodies There’s something about Carl Wockner’s music that simply exudes peace. It might originate in the modest acoustic guitar strums that contently chug along in his earthy, feel good songs, or it might have to do with his naturally warm and soulful voice. However you connect with Carl’s music, chances are you know this small town acoustic pop artist from Bundaberg, Queensland is onto something. Beaten Bodies formed in 2012 to quench a mutual thirst for funk and R&B, their debut EP saw the band touted as a fresh new group to watch. Inspired by the current musical climate and with a growing need to experiment their music has evolved since those early days and now Beaten Bodies occupy a space somewhere between the dank hip hop beats of The Robert Glasper Experiment and the neo soul grooves of Erykah Badu. With the release of Crayon Days April 13th 2014, it’s not overly ambitious to predict that Carl’s music may soon be as recognizable as his massive dreads. The band return from hibernation with their brand new offering ‘The Royal Road’ out 09 June 2014. ‘The Royal Road’ is a giant step forward for the band.

Beaten Bodies have played alongside the likes of Ngaiire, Sticky Fingers, Milan, Sex On Toast and Okenyo. ‘The Royal Road’ is available on 09 June 2014 via iTunes, with physical copies available at the band’s shows. 20www.noosajazz.com.au The college has a small pool of talented instrumental students who perform with various ensembles at the college including this Stage band, the concert band as well as percussion, string and handbell.
