For some 8 years or more now the Bridge City Jazz band has put on special nights celebrating icons in the Australian Jazz scene's special birthdays...they don't come much more special than this one coming up...
Geoff Bull, a trumpet player who enjoys the New Orleans style of Jazz turns 70 around the end of May this year....
He's going to lead the Bridge City Jazz Band for his birthday celebratory night at Club Ashfield on Friday 25th May...his old mate, pianist Gary Walford will be on the Club's grand piano and Jim Morrell's on drums...supported by the usual Bridge City personnel...John Bates on trombone and vocals, Colin Davies on double bass, Colin Beal on clarinet and alto saxophone and myself, Dennis Quinlan on banjo.
7.30pm to 10.30pm in the first floor Club bistro and function area, we'll have selected sit-ins from the many muso friends who come along for the evening, couple with a big birthday cake later shared around the audience and a big card to sign , the night will swing like a dunny door in a southerly....
Come along...bring a friend...!!
