Jazz afternoon in aid of arboretum and memorial hall
Pearl Beach Jazz in the Arboretum will be held on the afternoon of Saturday, November 12, as a fundraising event with the proceeds toward the upkeep for the Arboretum and the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.
Jazz, Soul and Gypsy Swing will be performed from 2.30pm to 5pm by Emma Pask and Ian Cooper with the "Swingin" jazz combo.
"After three years' hiatis, the Pearl Beach Progress Association and the Pearl Beach Arboretum are delighted to once again host Jazz in the Arboretum," said association publicity officer Ms Lynne Lillico.
"Australia's first lady of jazz, Emma Pask, will be joined by virtuoso violinist Ian Cooper - a much-loved regular to our concert series.
"Together they will pay homage to the music made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae as well as Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt.
"With Emma and Ian are the 'Swingin' jazz combo, featuring leading jazz guitarist Jum Pennell, pianist and composer Matt McMahon, double bassist Phil Stack and drummer Tim Firth."
Ms Lillico said patrons should arrive early with a rug, chairs and a picnic and "enjoy this unique experience in beautiful native bush land surroundings".
Proceeds from the concert will go towards upkeep of the Pearl Beach Arboretum and the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall, with tickets costing $50 and bookings at https://jazz-in-the-arboretum.eventbrite.com.au
