Sydney's traditional jazz scene...live jazz in Sydney......Club Ashfield is the venue and with its long residency, The Bridge City Jazz Band is the band....a nominal 4 piece we have three special guests each Friday taking the band up to a 7 piece swinging trad.jazz band...this coming Friday 14th June sees the band led by Paul Furniss on soprano sax with Gary Walford on piano and Joel Davis on drums.....

When Paul Furniss leads the Bridge City Jazz band utilising is mastery of the soprano saxophone the band takes on a whole new image, perhas reminiscent of the days of Sidney Bechet....
Gary Walford is a great swinging New Orleans style pianist and Joel Davis the consummate drums fits in with any style....
With Paul sure to feature great clarinett duos with regular band reed player Colin Beal and John Bates on trombone, Colin Davies on double bass and myself, Dennis Quinlan on banjo the band with "swing like a dunny door in a southerly"!
