We ‘really’ hope the weather holds out for this one!  Come and join us (and quite a few others we should imagine) down at Vaucluse House this Sunday for Jazz in the Garden.

Sit under a starlit sky and listen to the young blood of Australian jazz talent in the picturesque surrounds of this harbourside estate. Bring a rug, pack a picnic or take advantage of the selection of food available and a range of wines from the Angove Wine Bar on sale throughout the evening.

  6pm - KRISTIN BERARDI with JAZZGROOVE MOTHERSHIP ORCHESTRA
Formed in 2003 to present world class performances of jazz orchestral music and to further develop jazz orchestra and big band as an art form, the Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra is the most consolidated assemblage of respected young improvising talent in Australia and was nominated as Australian Jazz Ensemble of the Year in 2006 & 2007. The orchestra is joined by the exquisite vocalist Kristin Berardi, winner of the 2006 Shure Montreux Jazz Voice Competition and the Freedman Jazz award, 2007.

7pm - ELIXIR featuring KATIE NOONAN
Praised for her mesmerising stage presence and classically trained voice, Katie has won cult status in Australia, topping both the pop and jazz charts. Her jazz/folk ensemble ELIXIR, featuring Stephen Magnusson on guitar (Melbourne) and Zac Hurren on saxophones (Brisbane), performs a selection of their original material and also new songs from Katie’s highly anticipated brand new album Blackbird - the music of Lennon and McCartney. Katie has just returned from recording this album in New York with jazz legends Joe Lovano, John Scofield, Ron Carter and Lewis Nash.

  8pm - CSB (CRUSTY SUITCASE BAND)
A heady cook-up of horns, drums and old-school instrumentation, CSB is the brainchild of two of Sydney’s finest musos, percussion maverick Ben Walsh and jazz legend Matt Ottington. Inspired by powerhouse horns and drums from around the globe, funkified hip hop, swing/jazz harmonies and phat breaks, CSB serves up originals to get your booty shaking.
